2nd Gen JCW kit questions.

Hey everyone i was just hoping i could get a little information on the JCW kits for the 2007 MCS.

1- How much will it cost? i've heard $2,100 to 2,500.
2- When is it coming out?
3- What are the horsepower gains supposed to be?
4- Does the kit change just the Intake, ECU and Exhuast, or does it also do handling mods?
5- Will the JCW kit be better, cheaper than 3rd party aftermarket products?
6- Will the original warranty still cover my car after getting the kit intalled?

Thanks in advance,
Gabe

Check this link out, Gabe: http://motoringfile.com/2007/06/13/r...-availability/ It should answer all of those questions... except maybe #5

1- That's what we've all heard
2- SOON!
3- 192hp / 184lbs-ft
4- Engine stuff only. Suspension will be a separate kit.
5- Who knows? Probably not cheaper. Maybe better, at least at first.
6- Warranty shouldn't be affected, as the JCW stuff is a factory option.

I'm patient.. I'll wait til someone lays down the cash and installs the kit. Then I'll decide if I'm willing to do the same.

My guess is that the manual tranny cars may benefit a bit more than the auto-tranny cars. I may be wrong. I hope I'm wrong..
