    If you're worried about picking up that inside rear, go smaller on the rear bar. But I'm in the camp that for a FWD car it's not a huge deal. I'd rather keep it on the ground, but I wouldn't freak out about it.

    Anyway, 10k/10k with the 25.5 hollow rear bar seems firm to me for a DD but should perform well. I tend to go softer than most so I might have ended up with 8k/10k (or maybe 8/9) with a 19mm rear bar for your uses. I do not have a ton of experience with the Mini though.

    Have fun and keep us posted.

    Well i spoke with AST and they recommended i dont go any higher then a 550/550 until i get a rebuild. I ended up going with Hypercoil mainly b/c of availability, and also talking further w/ Vorshlag (who vendor for both). They should be here Wednesday and will be installed that day, and will have a good test of the performance next weekend at SW Div #1. Pretty excited about everything.
