    Got Kw springs to fit on my mates mini, 58 plate cooper,

    Had a wee quick look under, Few wee questions though, where is the top mount for the rear shocks? Behind the rear doorcards or behind the arch liners?

    Secondly. any special tools required for it? got my snap on gear so just specific tools for bmw/minis that i may not have?

    Its a nice how to. Theres 2 bolts to be undone to remove rear shocks - inside the wheel arches, you dont need to remove the liner or anything.

    There is a special tool to remove the nut on the front struts - but i managed using a decent buzz gun.
