JCW coilovers...

Does anyone have pictures of a F56s with the JCW coilovers and lowered all the way? Which I think is 20mm.

Thanks!

As I recall the JCW suspension only lowered the car about 1/2" (which is 12mm). I remember seeing pix and the degree of lowering isn't near what some owners have done.

Why not just buy (better) KW coilovers?

Ha! Good question!
To be honest I'm not familiar w/ KW.
Are they in the same price range?

I also like the idea of JCW since it won't void anything on my warranty.

Yeh KW are in the same price range and offer much better adjustment to obtain your desired ride height.

I can't see how the dealer could use the coilovers as an excuse to void your warranty

Hey there ECS,
So, is that picture with the JCW coilovers you are selling on your site?

Looks lower than 20mm.

Thank you

That's the ones I have seen ( MINIUSA F56 JCW Car prototype parts ) and the ones MINI is selling and on our site. I wondering if they do infact go that low, i know 20mm does not sounds like much but for a stock MINI that can be enough to make it look much lower ( fills the wheel gap on 17"), remember MINI likes to roll around on prototypes first. But the valve exhaust was 90% there.

Thats the only pics I have.

Ok, thanks for the info, I appreciate it.

If you happen to get any pictures of an F56 with non-prototype JCW coilovers installed, please post

Would like to see what it looks like before I spend that kind of money.

Have a great weekend! Cheers!
