I think the next thing I will tackle is the suspension. I feel like my head will pop off every time I hit a bump or a dip.

Going with springs or new rubbers?


A set of hilos allows you to really fine tune the ride height yet keep the ride quality too....

yep, this one was multiple trips to the tool aisle! I ended up with a ratcheting box wrench with a super fine 'click' ... with the limited swing on the wrench I think I was getting about 1/32 of a turn on the bolt each throw!

Everytime I see that tool in the drawer I think of that day and my thoughts: "WHAT have I gotten myself in to?????"

I really have no idea. I am still doing some reading on it. What would you recommend? I dont think the rubber cones in the car has ever been replaced.

I put springs on my Clubman Estate and I'm really happy with them, the car definitely rides nicely and handles fine. You have to use a different set of hilos with springs tho....


There are three different stiffness's of springs - stiff (red), soft (blue) and medium (black) - I chose the medium but they were a little hard to find compared to the others.


Just FYI, I have a set of Hilos for rubber springs that are like new for sale - $75 plus shipping.
