and how long should the shock be in total (in mm)?
(I use TRF-shocks with spacers (5mm) in them)

another question:
I find two sets of shocks, especially meant for the mini: tam 50519 and tam 50746.
What's the difference between the two.


And about droopsettings:
I guess that I understand it correctly that I should make the shcoks with a 5mm spacer to shorten the shock-length .. and the adjusting the droop-settings by putting the mini higher or lower on it's wheels by turning the shock-collar (TRF-dempers) or changing the amount of clips on a plastic shock.

This will change the height of the car ... but will have a higher inpact as it also changes the droop ... am i correct?

secondly
could someone give me some advice on how I should change the droopsettings when I have not enough steering or when I have too much when going into a corner, compared to when I come out of the corner?
