klubman01 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I don't think the factory thought much about suspension geometry on the Sportpack Coopers. To me, they look a bit "tippy toe", with negative camber. Not really conducive to good handling or road holding. Trevor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevor This. 13" wheels on a Mini is generally a bad idea (except tarmac competition cars perhaps) but I'm told the real problem with the Sportspack cars was the factory failing to be consistent with setting the tracking and dealer PDI being a lottery. Some drove better than others. The only Sportspack I drove felt ok, but was nowhere near as eager to turn-in as the 10" car I had at the time. Very much over-tyred for what they were. Plus they look wrong! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
