Good question. It has taken ages but is going well. Having improved the front by adding some increased caster bushes, adjustable camber strut tops and a pair off adjustable Ohlins shock absorbers we then had to modify our freshly refurbished subframe to make it all fit! With that all done and ready for setting up, this week we continue with the rear suspension and finish off making the rear toe and camber adjustable. Having successfully swapped out the trailing arm&#8217;s metalastic bush for a spherical bearing we have now got to the fun part; bolting on all of the shiny new parts&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>2007 R56 BMW Mini Cooper S Rear Rally car Suspension Upgrade, Part 5 &#8211; Edd China&#8217;s Workshop Diaries Ep18<\/p>\n<p>For more information, or to buy my Ansell gloves, use these links:-<br \/>\n\ud83c\uddec\ud83c\udde7 https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/stores\/page\/6CBA2E51-1B15-4E3A-A23E-ADDF8165C99B?channel=Youtube<br \/>\n\ud83c\uddeb\ud83c\uddf7 https:\/\/www.amazon.fr\/stores\/page\/0082DC70-8FFC-450B-B231-8CA1A25BE1C4?channel=youtube<br \/>\n\ud83c\uddee\ud83c\uddf9 https:\/\/www.amazon.it\/stores\/page\/659AE816-0F4A-43A2-B7C6-D0DE98E960B0?channel=Youtube<br \/>\n\ud83c\udde9\ud83c\uddea https:\/\/www.amazon.de\/stores\/page\/3CD5FA20-B51A-4EBC-A1C1-D2CAE9DBE252?channel=Youtube<br \/>\n\ud83c\uddea\ud83c\uddf8 https:\/\/www.amazon.es\/stores\/page\/96333BE1-8E53-4877-AF44-CE5D53E58A07?channel=Youtube<br \/>\n\ud83c\uddf3\ud83c\uddf1 https:\/\/www.amazon.nl\/stores\/page\/4824CC34-2FFD-4CDD-96BC-BE2F56B74CCE?channel=Youtube<\/p>\n<p>To buy our new Big Mugs: https:\/\/www.eddchina.com\/eddgear<\/p>\n<p>A huge thanks to those of you that have already become \u2018Patreons\u2019, it is brilliant to have you on board.
