Mini GP2 suspension adjustment

[mikeyb1987]

Hi all,

I've had my GP2 nearly seven months and I'm loving it . It's just had two new front dampers under warranty and the car is sitting a little higher at the front (and a little lower at the back). I know the Mini dealer has probably reset the car to factory settings, but I'm using this as an excuse to tweak the ride height.

Has anyone changed the height of the front? If so, how easy was it? I'm presuming it's a wheel-off job?

Thanks

Mike

realoem.com shows standard coilover type c-spanner will be required to reset the ride height on these.

Yes, it will be wheel off to do it.

Yup, exactly this. The spanners came with the car, but standards will do the job. Wheels off.

Cheers both. Got the C-spanners in the boot so I'll have a go tonight!

Whatever you do, don't try to get everything even... Mini GP is all about the rake

That's the problem I'm trying to rectify I swear the rake is less than it was before it went in.

Good stuff, if it's not standing on its nose with its arse in the air you're doing it wrong
