=======

Many people will tell you why you should consider upgrading to the original classic "Hi/Lo" suspension so I should not be bashful in giving my opinion! The best reason is they are the only RAC homologated set available which gives safety issues "a peace of mind". "It's easy to change ride heights"

"It was designed years ago for Special Tuning rally programme."

"It allows you to compensate for sagged rubber cones" correcting ride heights.

The shape of the trumpet against the cone spring helps improve handling.

If you need the car even lower,dispense with the locking nut which was never on the originals and check length or shorten main adjuster bolt and/or remove circlip.

Hexagon adjusting rods are available seperately for the original method of
easier adjustment, except front 1976 on where the larger subframe turret bolt
was fitted hence why Keith Dodd initiated the change to spanner adjustable.

The Hilo also lowers more than the budget sets available! neither does it corrode and seize up like alL metal type.This alloy type is also claimed to be slightly quieter in transmitting road noise.

Question:
I have a 1969 Austin Mini Pickup that I want to replace the drum brakes on the front with disk brakes. I’m looking at the Brake Conversion Kit with Alloy Caliper for 7.5" | Classic Mini Part No: MMKT0513 and want to confirm this kit will work. I also want to upgrade my rear brake drums and looking at Aluminum Finned Brake Drum Pair Without Spacer Part No: FINDRUMS to replace my old rear hubs. Would these be a good option? In addition what would be a good adjustable suspension kit package for front and rear for this truck.
Answer:
Yes, that kit will work and still allow you to run 10" wheels. The FINDRUMS are also a nice upgrade, too.

You can always add hi-lo's if you'd like to an adjustable set-up: https://www.minimania.com/part/HILO-SET/Classic-Austin-Mini-Hi-lo-Front--Rear-Set
