stiff suspension

[ChrisTO]

i gotta say that the MINI has a very stiff suspension, maybe to replicate the original Mini. i tried to get a bit of body movement by pushing on the side of the car...nothing. not even a budge. it's not a very heavy car in comparision to some other cars where a push on the side will result in a bit of body roll/motion.

does this thing have rubber donuts for suspension. :)

I know it's a lot stiffer then my M coupe :)

I can make the M coupe rock and roll :)

MINI Cooper S is pretty damn solid in comparison :)

LOL! I did the same thing (push sideways on the car) with the same result.

The car does not have much body roll at all. Still, it drives pretty well. I've had lowered cars before that knock fillings out of your teeth with the rough ride. The mini is not like that at all.
