Major cat nut misses 94 Miata with Flyin Miata FMII turbo, and trying to get a convertible the wife will like (read - seats 4). So - settling in on the Mini Cooper S Convertible. Budget - $20,000. More power the better. Where to start in the forum?
Recommended "bank for buck" suspension mods to tighten things up?
Weak points in the car?

Thanks all!

1st off I'd go with a 22 MM adjustable sway bar.
To avoid some common weeknesses, rotate tires about every 5K, check often and change on schedule and maintain proper fluid levels.
You absolutely want to get a wind deflector. Make sure it is for the correct model either R52 or R57. One won't fit the other quite right.
Keep the top clean with Ragg Topp to avoid wear on the canvas.
Visibility out the back is tricky. To help with that go to:
