moulton smootha ride kit

Post by chrisbonnie »

anybody have one, or been in a mini with one?

i was thinking of getting the kit, just to add a little [b]comfort [/b] to the mini driving experience

worth the money, or complete crap?

I think Ger has fitted a few sets to cars he had, he was well impressed with them from what I seem to remember.

hmmmm, ive only just found about them over on miniresource, i wouldnt be getting them right away, but if they add comfort, then they`d seem well worth it

how hard to fit would you reckon, ive got mechanical experience, but only on big trucks, and that was 4 years ago now

Better explain exactly what it is to her first, just telling her you want a smootha ride for your birthday might have an entirely different outcome ;-)
