So i decided to go with the fortune auto 500 suspension with swift springs. I was going to do spring rates of 8k unless someone has something to say about it.

My car is about to roll 60k and the struts are shot I can feel it. When i replace the suspension I am going to rear lower control arms and sway bar. I want to replace everything necessary while im down there. Bushings, ball joints, tie rods, and bearings.

Thing is I dint know the exact parts i should look at replacing. The 60k miles i have on the car are in and around NYC so those miles havent been kind

thanks for help in advance

 

Why would you want square spring rates?

The Mini is a FWD understeer biased car. Even stock rates have rears stiffer than front.

 

8k all around is going to be pretty stiff on a Mini, especially around NYC cratered roads. I have the Megans at 6k all around, and it rides very firm. Even the GP2 only has ~6k springs all around.
