Spax Shock Settings

My shiny new SPAX shocks arrived yesterday. I’m wondering about the setting, since they are adjustable. I am running the green coil springs, which are pretty stiff.

Aren’t the green suggested for racing? I have found for autocrossing that the blue springs with my Spax 5 clicks from softest works best. Best to start at the min setting and see how the car handles in turns and over your usual road surfaces.

Turn ccw for softer and visa versa. You will feel the adjustment thumb screw easier to turn as you go in the softer direction.

Thanks… I knew they had been set pretty stiff, so I turned them CCW, assuming that like most adjustments, CCW is lower, like on a volume control. I only turned them 3 clicks, so that is probably why it didn’t seem like much of a change. Was kind of afraid to turn them too far. I don’t really have a problem with the setting, but my wife isn’t too fond of the stiff Mini suspension. Even at the softest setting, the Mini doesn’t have a squishy “luxury car” ride, but that’s one of the things which makes them handle so well and be so much fun! In the spring I’ll play with the settings and see what kind of mid range I might find. (Didn’t even think about looking in the tech pages in this Mini Cooper site!)

I can’t speak for the latest generation of Spax, but they used to be notorious for being stiff. Street settings with cones were 1/2 or less on the front and dead soft on the rear. It was easy to get them too hard. Depending upon your use, start soft and work up.
