I've made the decision to go suspension first before power as it seems to make the most sense for the same reasons already mentioned.

Well.. when that bonus starts rolling in I will anyway...

Everyone seems to have amazing things to say about the Cross Coilovers as they seem to solve all of the various weaknesses and drivability issues the mini has when you get on it.

I don't know if it will matter to you, but you know that the JCW has an electronic dif as opposed to the mechanical diff in the regular S?

Back on the topic of power... has anyone talked about the idea of creating a twin turbo setup for the MCS? I know that would involve a ton of customization as there's not much room in that engine to do much, but it's something I've had some curiosity about.

If you want a full track setup we also have 3way and 4 way adjustable

Perhaps take the same methods and apply them to the Mini. Turbo internals, intercooler, engine internals, etc.
Just a thought

Down Pipe

I am going to break her in and then get a couple of clean dyno pulls in stock form...then add each part and find out what I am getting out of each mod.
