I have little experience/information on this mod so I wonder if someone could help me out.
Are these for use with just dampers or coilover set ups?
When fitting these do you remove the Hydrogas setup?
What gains are made?
To match the front is it a case of fitting an MGTF subframe?

Thanks for any help.

Location: Cornwall		These where designed for dampers, however with an extra strengthening on the top they should be fine for coilovers as long as they fit in ok.

if you run dampers they just give better damping, and if you run coilovers you would be able to remove all the hydragas stuff an possibly have even better handleing.

on the front, if you want coilovers TF subframe is best or for dampers you can just fit the upper shock mounts.

Location: Cornwall		i have never done it before myself, however if you have a method if fixing the coilover tot he hub it shouldnt be hard, probably the hardest bit would be getting the turret aligned in the arch but nothing a bit of time wouldnt solve.

Location: Cirencester 		A Mini stub axle will fit a metro radius arm and obviously already has damper mount. This is what I've always used when fitting dampers on the rear.
