I will be picking up my new MC this weekend and I ordered it with Sport Suspension Plus.
Is there any way to visually confirm that that option is on the car?

 

Now that you mentioned it, I would like to know too.

I paid for it, but how do I know for sure that I got it!

If you have a caliper, the front bar is 24 mm on SS+ and 22.5 on SS
the rear is 17 mm on SS+ and 16 on SS.
If you can find the stickers on the shocks, the part number for
Cooper with SS is 31 30 6 759 245 front and ...246 rear
for Cooper or MSC with SS+ 31 30 6 759 247 front and ...248 rear.

 

I have a set of shocks that a friend took off of an 06 MCS, and the part numbers are:

Front shocks - 31 31 6 764 920
Rear shocks - 33 52 6 768 158

Perhaps they have changed?

 

that could well be. I have an 02/2003 build car, before they softened all
the shocks in 5/03. Thanks for the update.
Could probably also tell by the color and number of painted marks on the
springs, only I don't know which markings go with which part numbers.
My fronts have two purple marks (SS+, MC, no sunroof). Can't see the
rear's easily without taking the wheel off.

 

Hey Rollin, how far do you live from Waterloo? Are you in to autocross? I run down in Waterloo quite a bit, but the events down by the quad cities are just too darn far to drive from MN.
