Classic Austin Mini Shock & Coil Over Kit, Spax Standard Height
A complete kit of coil springs and shocks to replace the old suspension rubber cones and trumpets. This is an adjustable set up for lowered height cars with full fitting instructions....This kit really does transform a mini suspension and has been safely used for many years without problems.
Question:
Dad just gifted me his 67 cooper and said a spring kit or coil over kit would be an upgrade worth doing over replacing rubber cones. Trying to modernize as much as possible without pissing dad off as he is a ‘purist’.
Answer:
Congratulation on your new car! Converting from original rubber cones to Coil Springs is indeed very popular! From a technical standpoint the coils are a direct replacement for the cones and thus no additional part are "needed"! BUT, removing the front cones typically will require a rather special tool: https://www.minimania.com/Search_Inventory.cfm?subtype=SearchText&Search=cone%20compressor. While it is possible to make your own tool, to be honest it is not practical.
