So i have a 2002 mini cooper base, and i want to make it better obviously. Other than sway bars what should i add to it? I have a cold air intake already.

 

I'd suggest working on the suspension. Upgrading your bushings to Powerflex HERE will improve the handling and performance of your MINI. Lowering it can help as well. We have some spring or coil over options HERE. I prefer coil overs as you have the ability to change the ride height and depending on which ones you go with, adjust the dampening. That coupled with the bushings and Hotchkis adjustable control arms HERE will all go nicely with an upgraded rear sway bar. Also, look into some strut tower reinforcement plates HERE if you haven't already. Let me know if you have any questions!

 

So far I have lowered mine with springs, made a great difference in the twisties an exhaust because I'm not driving a Prius, and as of yesterday I put a bottle on it to give it some *****. I don't know if I would recommend the nitrous yet but I'd definitely recommend suspension and exhaust

 

I'm working on mine right now
It's getting full suspension control arms, sway bar, coilovers, full body kit. relocating the battery to the trunk, full exhaust, race cam, a/c delete, power steering delete, rear seat delete, way bigger injectors, turbo (tbt), and one hell of a tune

 

Can i get a list of your parts? The parts i am finding are ment specifically for the s model chassis and engine.

Magma flow cat back exhaust
DDM works CAI

A bunch of suspension parts from Alta and Megan racing

And anything I can't find I'm fabricating

Look into outmotoring.com
Waymotorworks.com

That's all I can remember off hand

 

Thanks this helps a lot.
