    BD - My cooper is running the SS and 17" S-Spokes and I have to say i don't notice any real difference from the SS+ and 17"'s I had on my MCS. I reckon it's a ONE suspension you need to aim for........eh Gordy?

    Like Bad Dog says I don't know if just the springs would make a big enough difference:blackeye: But your more than welcome to try them if anyone has any evidence that it would make a difference. Maybe minime or one of the Menzies guys could shed some light on this for us..........ohhhhhhhhhh laydeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez :approve:

    I had a One with standard suspension and 15"ers as a courtesy car once and I was surprised how soft the suspension was - but not in a good way.

    Ain't nothing wrong with standard "ONE" suspension in my opinion:evil: Having said that I run mine on 17"ers My old XR2 had adjustable Koni's on the front that I had set at 'half' and they shook your filling outso didn't want to go down that route again hence the standard set-up on our "ONE" :approve:
