Hi,
Just wondering if anyone who has driven or owns a SAE mini could give me some feed back on how they are finding the kit !!?? (esspecially the suspention - how do the coilovers compare to the rubber cones or their spring replacements !)

Everyone says to get the watson kit but the SAE looks appealing to me :? !!

Cheers everyone ! :D

I've got an SAE kit. I thinks its only me and Sunny who have them!!
If you're going to get John to carry out the conversion then i can't comment on what his work is like as i'm trying to do mine myself!!!. As for the kit it's ok. I haven't seen a watsons to compare it to. There is a few things that i find quite annoying.Its little things like where the flexible brake pipes join the subframe there is nowhere for them to go so i will have to make a bracket up for this.it might be petty but it's just something else to do.
I have been in his demo car and the coilovers seemed fine to me. It bounced along just like mini's do!!
