Genuine Mini Spares performance cone utilizing 20 years of elastomer/rubber technology from our competition cones manufacturer. Available since 02/09/2020.
Original cone spring design technology is over 60 years old and needed modern scientific advancements and updating.Car weights/wheels changed over the years. These cones will give stability to your suspension, decreasing body roll and giving consistent ride heights after the initial settling down period, which allows fitting of original trumpets rather than adjustable suspension units such as hilos wherethe cars originality is to be preserved for increased value.
Most complaints about other suspension cones available is that they sink or sag after use giving unstable suspension heights which in turn is detrimental to the cars handling. Already by 30/9/2020 2 customers who had problems with new cone springs loosing height have fitted these with rave reviews of ride consistency. These should be fitted as a car set of four or,a pair of front.
Hilos or adjustable suspension might allow getting the correct ride heights but that means the hysterisis on each cone is affected and they are all working under different characteristics and limitations.
