k bojar,

The majority of the cars I was racing against were setup as MO5M cars using the Tamiya Swift body shell. So yes the softer set up will work on the medium and the short wheel based cars. I have a preference for LWB mini's. I did try the new JCW mini shell and found it was not as stable as the 2006 LWB mini cooper shell. This may have been due to wrong tyres early in my testing. However the LWB Copper body seemed to make the car more stable and easier for me to drive hard. My car did not traction roll at all with the setup I used. I also used V2 Tyre Gripper traction compound front and rear , early on and then used nil for the two finals. Two warm laps were enough for the tyres to work with great grip.

BTW,

I was using the new Ride mini springs which come as a matched pair. These were fitted to TRF shocks with three hole pistons and 35 wt oil front and rear. Next time I may try softer rear oil.

Regards,

Calvin.
