Just got a 22 JCW Clubman....needs to be lowered. Not looking to do coilovers

Anyone lower theirs? And on what springs?

 

Well-timed question... check out the Petrol Ped video from a few days ago (~4 Feb). Looks like Mulgari in the UK used the Eibach spring kit for the F54S to lower that JCW. From some quick searches, looks like H&R springs are also available with the same quoted lowering distance... 1.2" front, 1" rear. Drop will probably be a little less substantial on a JCW since you're already 10mm lower.

Will be interested to see what path you go down... I may follow in another year or so. I love the dynamic dampers and don't want to swap for coilovers, but would like to be a little lower, too.

 

I lowered mine on AC Schnitzer springs. I have DDC, it was no problem. I put them on at about 25k (km), there was a little shimmy that worked itself out. The ride height is good (I’m in the dead of winter and no problems), they are comfortable and keep cornering tight. It’s probably only a 15mm drop for you seeing as the JCW springs are about 10mm lower than the S.

 

Helpful feedback, especially re: DDC...that height looks great too (your pic in another thread)

 

Happy to connect you with the Canadian distributor. If they won’t ship you I can find out how much it is to forward it along.

 

I’m on AST springs from the Netherlands. Zero complaints. I chose them because they were one of the few manufacturers of springs specifically for ALL4 models.

Paired with Bilstein B8s. I have (had) dynamic dampers - no issues removing them either.

 

I ended up going with the AST Springs and 12.5mm spacers from ECS. Love them....rides better than it did stock and sits perfectly.

 

That there looks awesome. Really clean. Love those oem wheels too and the spacers finish it off nice and flush. Well played sir.

 

Hot!!

 

Could you post the links to the springs I couldn’t seem to find them on their website.

 

Here you go, you select your model and year on the left.

I have a 21 JCW clubman and when I put that in the website it says it won’t fit my car but I’m assuming that must be incorrect right?

 

Hello,

Updated and fixed, sorry about that.
