Glad you asked... I've been on a question tear.

 

of all the reading I have done on various forums... It looks like I will put the blue springs with my existing hi-Los down the road.... If that is any help whatsoever.

HI

Trying to figure out the best suspension upgrade plan for my stock 1999 Mini Cooper 1275.  I'm trying to put together a fast daily driver, no track or racing but I like a little spirited cornering (how can you not in these little go-carts!) and wouldn't mind a little smoother ride. Seems like my options are:

1) Just replace original rubber cones with existing trumpets

2) New rubber cones with HiLo's

3) Moulton Smootha Ride kit:

 4) Fancy Coil Over

5) HiLo's with springs

       //www.minimania.com/part/C-SRP100/Coil-Spring-Kit-Street-4-Blue-Mini--Mini-Cooper-S

Short term price isn't a big deal, but I want something reliable which isn't going to require lots of work down the road… Opinions? Thanks in advance.
