Question:

Will the rear spax conversion for 74 midget work with 3" lowered springs?

Answer:

We think the lowered height Spax shocks for the front of the Minis would be correct for lowered Spridgets in the rear:

But, since there's no conversion kit that comes with the lowered shocks, you're in a bit of a pickle. You'd have to buy the standard kit and get the lowered shocks separately. We can't substitute as the kits come to us completely - we don't put them together ourselves. Neither do we offer just a rear kit without the shocks included.
