The stock Mini suspension was a great use of the technology of its day. The demands placed on the Mini today far exceed the design criteria and if you want to get the most out of the car you must modernize.
The "Coil-over" kit from Spax goes a long way to achieve this goal. Coil springs in place of rubber provides more consistent performance. Springs are easy to change for various spring rates, ride height is easily adjusted (no need for HI-LO kits) and thus corner weights can be set very precisely. The shocks are the highest quality gas filled adjustables from Spax. The best part about this kit is that it is a "bolt-on" process, easily done in an afternoon. No cutting or welding and normal 10" wheels and tires can still be used.

Question:
What is the height difference between RSX 519 and RSX 520 ? Can both be used with 13" tires Thanks
Answer:
We don't have exact specs for the height difference between the kits. But if you want the lowered stance you'll want to go with the lowering kit.

I'm sure both can be used with 13" wheels.

Question:
I know this kit replaces the shocks, but do I still need to buy the springs/struts too? Or does it replace the shocks AND the springs? This might be a dumb question, but I’m very new at mechanics and learning with my mini (1965 Morris Minor).
Answer:

This kit is used to replace all the original components (rubber cone springs and original shocks)
