Gp2 suspension adjustments

Hi guys, have recently sold my jcwc50 which had the jcw sports suspension installed, whiteline rear sway bar and vorshlag camber plates. Currently in negotiations with purchasing a mini gp2, drove it, love it, buying it. The suspension set up in the gp2 are miles apart from what I had. I've been told that the early mini gp2 had come out with bump and rebound adjustment along with the height adjustment. The model I'm bout to purchase only has the coil over height adjustment. I'm from australia and was wondering if any owners could check or know if they have this bump/rebound adjustment on there's???
And are they the bilstein pss9 shocks?

Thanks

No bump and rebound adjustment, just height adjustment. The shocks externally look the same as bilstein PSS (different from PSS9/10), but internally the valving is different from the PSS version bilstein sells for the mini. The springs are HR 400lbs front and rear. The strut tops are slotted for adjustment, but come at maximum negative camber from the factory, which is around -2. The rear bar is a stock 19mm bar.

The suspension is much better than the JCW sports suspension.

I am in oz, and have a GP as well as a JCW with PSS9 and camber plates btw

Cheers rob, curious if any others may have the bump/rebound option as I know of one gp owner in melbourne that does. Either way I'm getting it.

Thanks for this answer Robbo. I've just purchased a GP2 and this has cleared up a few queries I've had.
