I f you had installed the "Spi Twincharged Mcs"
What suspension and or wheels set-up would you make for a Mini S that has 225-250 hp at the wheels.
Interesting question. Please feel free to to give your best advice.

 

I will start off with..... Leda's, M7 tubular front control arms/delrin bushings and titanium droplinks, Hsport camber plates and H sport rear adjustable control arms, swaybars front/rear... not to forget my Phantom grip with new clutch/pressure plate

 

The question is a bit vauge: what would you change to the suspension to handle the 250wLb-Ft?, or what would you change to match the side bite grip to the power level?

 

in addition to springs and shocks and camber plates,
a thorough going over of all the compliant bushings: engine and gearbox nounts, control arms and stock strut plates are pretty flexy. Don't forget to upgrade the braking power.

If you are really serious, change out the pistons and rods, as they will be the weak link after the clutch.

Titanium swaybar links are a joke, right? right in there with titanium valve retainers for a 7k redline engine?

 

already put on wilwoods ... and still looking for un-obtanium retainers

pistons are on the way

 

maybe you should go for a parachute; that always looks cool at the drive-in.

Thats the answer!! A Parachute..hehehe Really, is there anything to make is safe in a Mini with this much power without a parachute.

 

OK... So you strengthen the engine internals, put in a beefy clutch and an LSD. You change suspension; mounts and bushings are swapped for stiffer compounds. Its now conceivable to put gobs of torqe to the wheels/road.

Light wheels + big brakes & WIDE-*** rubber. Wheel wells rolled & install a subtle (there is such a thing?) wide body kit that accomedates 225mm rubber without any rubbing.

Next, I'm wondering about the strength of the trans / driveshafts?

Handling tradeoffs? Definately - turn-in & overall ballance + weight gain of the w-body kit. ...But ability to put power down, improve braking and laterall controll - worth it.

 

HAHA!

...a roll cage! This will stiffen up the chassis. And, in case the 250 horses get away from you, you'll have some protection...some. About those airbags...

Have fun!
