JCW suspension kit + H-sport sways

I've got a lightly used JCW kit in the garage with 10k miles on it. App for '06 MCS Coupe with sunroof, though it will work on others for sure. Also, brand new H-Sport sways. I picked up the parts, but haven't had time to install them and now I'm considering selling everything and leaving the car stock until I get it's paid off next summer.

$800/shipped for everything or...

$525 + shipping on the JCW kit (struts and springs)
$100 + shipping front
$175 + shipping rear

I'd prefer not to sell just the rear, as that's the #1 thing I'd like to keep

Are the JCW springs shorter than the stock "sport" springs?

you want pics of brand new swaybars? one looks like a cardboard box, the other, a black bar in a plastic sleeve. the JCW kit is black shocks and red springs. Happy to post pics, though I don't know what purpose it will serve.

Come on man. Give me a little slack.
I just thought that pics would help. Some folks like to "see" what they are buying first.
Especially the springs and shocks since they are used.

edit - nevermind. this forum is pointless sometimes.

if anybody wants pics, PM me and I'll be happy to go unbox the swaybars and the JCW kit to snap them for you.

I would love to have the springs myself but have spent this years' budget already. My comment reflects that my 36,000 mile four year old S is far from "lightly used"

good luck on your sale...I'll certainly spread the word to my two buds who just bought MINIs

Hey Zak, if it makes any difference to you that JCW kit was on my car before the Hsports/stock spring that I just replaced with another JCW Kit...

cool! you took off one set of JCW, replaced it with H sport and now going back to a new JCW kit? Was the Hsport springs too stiff then? I thought you said softer than the SS+...

They were too soft and with my ET 38 wheels, the Hsports made it rub like crazy. If he had posted this 2 weeks ago, I would have offereded to buy em back!

from all I've read they shouldn't be a problem with my 16" Subzeros at +40...correct? Man, I wish I had the $$ for the JCW s/s but will be content with the H-sport springs.

My buddy just bought an 04 MCS and is getting used to driving it. He doesn't plan on mods anytime soon. I told him about PGT's kit and will keep hawking it for you. :^D

I'm leaning that way now actually. I had a pulley installed today and all the sudden I'm feeling rear squat I didn't think was possible in such a short wheelbase car
