About WeitecWeitec are a German manufacturer who pride themselves on offering high quality, well engineered suspension solutions at an affordable price. What is a ‘GT’ kit? This GT kit is fully height adjustable for the front and rear. The springs mount on seats which can be wound up or down the damper body to achieve a lowering anywhere between 20mm and 50mm at the front and rear. The GT damper bodies are bright zinc plated and feature uprated gas assisted internals. The damper settings are non-adjustable and have been pre-set to work in harmony with the 2.25” diameter uprated Weitec springs. What’s included? This kit includes four pre-set gas assisted dampers with bright zinc plated bodies matched with four 2.25” diameter uprated Weitec springs. A special adjusting spanner is also included (required for adjusting the spring seats). The handling This Weitec GT kit features pre-set damping which has been engineered to give a firmer, sporty character whilst retaining the suppleness required for road use. The ride height is fully adjustable and can be set up to suit your taste. Reduced ride height will reduce body roll and allow faster cornering. This kit will fit… This kit is suitable for all BMW later Mini models manufactured after April 2002. This includes the Mini One, Cooper, Cooper-S and diesels. Is mine an early or late Mini? To choose the correct kit you will need to establish whether your Mini has the early or late type suspension. The easiest way to determine this is to look at the piston rod mountings. Early models (manufactured up to April 2002) have the piston mounted in such a way that the threads on the rod are visible. On later models (manufactured after April 2002) the piston rod mounts are covered by a cap. PLEASE NOTE As with all suspension kits it may be necessary to fit spacers/shims behind the wheels for a little added clearance. This depends greatly on the wheel/tyre sizes being used.
