JCW suspension/sport suspension questions
OK - I have a 2010 JCW Cabrio ---
Didnt get the sport suspension, but want more handling...
I did add the strut bar only since the dealer just quoted me 2.5K for the upgrade...
So I didnt go that route...
1) Does anyone know what they use for our stock sway bar?
2) What recommendations do folks have for the suspension ?
25" Hollow?
thanks in advance...

There are a number of threads on this subject, a search would be worth while. But it boils down to what you are going to do with the car. Is this going to be a daily driver that you want to improve, going to the track a little or a lot, autoX? However, if you want to start slowly and basically use the car as a DD go for a 19 or 20 mm rear sway bar (probably 20 mm given what you have now) and camber plates - highly recommend the Ireland fixed plates and Whiteline 20 mm bar. This will give you a great street car and a very competent car for casual tracking and autoX. Another overlooked item is light weight wheels. This reduces unsprung weight which inproves ride and keeps the wheels planted on the ground. Would not recommend the 25 mm bar. The 25 mm bar is the same stiffness as the 22 mm bar but, being hollow, it is noisy and because it is larger it is harder to install. Both of which are probably too big without other mods (shocks, spings, adjustable camber plates...etc) because of the added overstear....That's my 0.02
I know Searched a bit mostly MCS but didn't read what JCW had...
But I will research --- thanks again...

You or any shop can make the change but you will need a wheel alignment afterwards to correct the toe-in
