I own a Mini cooper S – March 2003 model.

I seek help from the FORUM on clarification whether I can fit the following optional equipment to my mini cooper S ?

Currently have alloys OZ superlegga 17” x 7” with offset ET37 fitted to car – is it possible to fit a big brake kit without wheel spacers as current offset near maximum ? What brand / size of big brake kit recommended – KAD 4 or 6 pot cailper kit with either 304mm or 330mm discs ( supplied by Cool New Mini Ltd based UK ), or Alta Performance front and rear 328mm discs ( supplied by Alta Performance based US ), or other recommended kit that fits without wheel spacers ?

For front alloy tower brace – which brand / supplier recommended, as many available ?

For adjustable rear anti roll / sway bar - which brand / supplier recommended ?

For adjustable control arms ( supplied by Alta Performance based US ) – any great improvement over factory control arms ?

For end links to compliment rear sway bar ( supplied by Alta Performance based US ) – any great improvement over factory end links ?

Any problem to fit adjustable rear anti roll / sway bar, adjustable control arms, end links etc with current alloy wheel offset ET37 ?

Should I later consider fitting an uprated coil / spring / shocks to car any problem with current alloy wheel offset ET37 ? or recommend stay with factory suspension system i.e. no lowering etc ?

For adjustable short shifter and shift **** ( supplied by Alta Performance based US ) – is this recommended / or good feedback from anyone ?

For changing factory seats to more extreme sports seats – Sparco Seat Milano 2 adjustable back or equivalent, any problem to fit, or recommend good sports seat to fit ?

For fitting additional instrument gauges / gauge pod – Alta Performance provide a gauge pod to mount to existing rev counter but not supplied with boost or oil pressure gauges. Any make / brands available for complete kit i.e. gauge pod including two 52~60mm mm instrument gauges ?

HOPE YOU CAN HELP TO GIVE ME ADVICE.

Best regards
Charles
