MINI SUSPENSION UPGRADE KIT – CONVERT FROM HYDROLASTIC TO RUBBER USING GAS UPGRADED SHOCKS [SUS-KIT-01]

MINI HYDROLASTIC TO RUBBER SUSPENSION CONVERSION KIT

Complete Upgrade Kit with GAS Shock Absorbers,

HI-LOs, Rubber Cones & Ball and Cups

Convert your Classic Mini from ageing Hydrolastic suspension to a far more practical, adjustable, and performance-oriented rubber cone suspension setup with this complete suspension upgrade package.

This kit has been assembled to include the major components required to modernise the handling, ride quality, and suspension reliability of your Mini using quality gas shock absorbers, new rubber cones, HI-LO adjustable trumpets, and new ball and cup joints throughout.

One of the biggest misconceptions in the Mini world is that simply replacing shock absorbers will raise the ride height of a sagging Mini. In reality, shock absorbers do not support the weight of the vehicle. The main cause of a low-sitting or harsh-riding Mini is usually the original rubber cones themselves.

After 40 to 50 years, the factory rubber cones commonly:

• Sag and lose ride height
• Harden with age
• Lose spring rate and flexibility
• Cause poor ride quality and handling

At the same time, worn ball and cup joints cause lower ride height emit knocking noises when traveling over bumps.

By fitting new rubber cones together with a full HI-LO adjustable suspension kit, you gain the ability to precisely set the ride height to suit your vehicle and driving style, whether you prefer factory ride height or a lower performance stance.

The included upgraded gas shock absorbers dramatically improve suspension control, cornering stability, and overall road feel compared to tired original dampers.

Perfect for:

• Hydrolastic to rubber suspension conversions
• Restorations
• Fast road Minis
• Street performance builds
• Minis suffering from sagging suspension
• Owners wanting adjustable ride height

Once installed, the difference is immediately noticeable. The car feels tighter, more controlled, more responsive through corners, and far more enjoyable to drive.

• 2x 342001 – GAS upgraded front shock absorbers
