Nothing JCW is consider stock...period. If you have JCW parts, they're not legal for Stock. The only stuff that can be changed to JCW are shocks, front sway bar, plugs, wires, coil, air FILTER, cat-back exhaust, etc. re: the SCCA Solo rulebook (assuming you're running SCCA rules).
The JCW is put immediately into A Street Prepared, and has recently been allowed into STU where it might be somewhat fun/competitive.
If you're running a standard Cooper S, you cannot add JCW parts and still run in Stock unless they are parts that fit the Stock rules. So no, no JCW suspension (springs/rear sway bar change) is allowed in Stock.

The JCW "Works" package, as worded in the rulebook, originally referred only to the engine upgrade on the MINI website.
But I see where you're coming from- any or all "works" upgrades bump the car. MINIUSA isn't working for me right now, but the JC website uses "tuning kit" to distinguish the engine upgrade. No one package is referred to as the "Works". So, I think you're right.
Thanks for clearing that up. I was worried I had missed a legal upgrade when ordering.

ASN Canada's Solosport (our version of SCCA Solo2) rules address the "Works" package by not allowing an MCS with the JCW package to run in STOCK. It is immediately put in A-SUPER STOCK (as are several other cars purchaseable from the dealer with various go-fast parts, such as M3s, C6s, etc, regardless of whether they're installed by the "factory" or a "dealer"). In A/SS (or *** ) it is up against various C5 and C6 Corvette's, one of which I blew away this weekend at our double event Slalom@Slemon. IMO the dealer is merely an extension of the factory whose marque it carries. Installed in one place or the other shouldn't imply more "stock" than the other. I'm more than a little pleased to be driving a factory warrantied go-fast car that others consider "non-STOCK".

I was under the impression that the "'John Cooper Works Competition Edition" car was identical in equipment to a GP Edition car, but for some name ownership or marketing reason, it could not be called a GP in Canada.

No, not close. It is a Cooper S JCW with the aero body kit, JCW brakes and suspension, some bits of CF and alcantara. It is what we got up here to make up for no GP's being allowed in Canada, which, if I heard the story right, was because with the new front and rear bumper skins on the GP, Transport Canada would require new crash testing; not worth it given the limited number of GP's that would have been sold here.

Not until 500 units are produced under SCCA homologation rules.
