So...question Suspension R58/59

So I have an R59 JCW, and I keep seeing that they haven't released the JCW suspension for the R58 or R59 yet. So, my question is, what's the hold up? Anyone know?

And, what would happen if I put the current JCW Suspension springs on my R59? Would it cause issues? Even if I get the ones for the R56 Cabrio? I really want red JCW springs but I'm going to stick with the current "Sport suspension" shocks and struts for now. So...would it hurt my car, would I get the small bit of lowering that people do on a regular R56?

Thanks for the replies, any info is helpful! :-)

why they haven't released it yet?? Only MINI knows why.

If you want it now we would set you up with a set from and R57 cabrio as that would be closest to your roadster setup.
If you want them we will get the set for you, just email us and we'll get you pricing and shipping info.

I just need to convince the wife we should buy them now instead of later, haha. Any idea if it does lower the car a few mm? I sometimes scrape in the parking garage bumps at my work....I have to go over the bumps diagonal now to make it not scrape, so I can't lower it much more than that (hence why I'm not wanting some awesome NM springs or what not). But I love the way it looks even a small bit lower.
