Cooper Sport package, suspension upgrade questions
Guys,
What suspension upgrades should i do to improve handeling on my MC..
I know a little lowering and swaybars would help. I just want the corners to feel flatter and more in control..
The car was ordered with the sports package, we also have 16 inch runflats, viper and exhaust mods, as well as powerchip, its no S but it moves out....

Many owners of MC and MCS alike have installed H-sport or Eibach Springs. The Eibachs have a ride that is a little closer to stock and also ride a little lower than the stiffer H-sports which drop the car one inch front and back.
Adjustable 3 hole rear swaybar -19 mm for street use or the stiffer 22mm for street and track use. Alta, H-sport, RDR and Madness are the choices- prices vary a little and so do the colors, some black, red or blue.
Leave the front bar alone and forget the strut tower brace for now. Add rear control arms only if you need to fine tune the rear camber.
Also lighter weight wheels and non runflat grippy tires would help handling.

We will assume that you don't already have sport suspension plus a separate option from the Sports package.
If you do have SS+ then an adjustable 22mm rear sway bar is all you need to add for now. Try the middle setting of three holes.
