H&R Springs for 2011 JCW questions?

Hi all

I'm new at the forum and this is my first post

I need some help from u guys if u can

I ordered a 2011 JCW n waiting for it to arrive at the end of december

Anyways, i'm planning to order H&R springs .. I'm thinking of ordering the super sport springs but i couldnt find them in any websit, only in H&R website but with no prices .. I only found the sport springs n only for mini cooper s.

* So, anyone recommends to get the super sport .. or u think that the sport springs r better?

* If the super sport is better where can i find them?

* I ordered the JCW with the sport suspension, when i checked the websites i can see only mini cooper s, so is it the same in the JCW? is it gonna fit? n is there any changes in the facelift 2011 JCW sport suspension?

Thx for the help guys

You shouldn't have any problem with the springs fitting. They should improve handling as well as lower the car approximately one inch all around. My intentions are to do the same thing with my JCW that's coming

Mine are the black, or dark grey in color and are the Sport Springs, I think. There's a regular and those are Red. I guess that they are softer. I'm not aware of the Super Sport springs. I got such a good deal on mine, I'm not really concerned.

I installed the sport suspension and the car looks very nice and it handles very good. I haven't seen any super sport kit for the our cars. But I think the the sport kit is what you are looking for. Also I recommend you to order the on tire rack. they are cheaper.

I got mine off NAM market place for under $200. They were new, but from an individual that sold the car before he put them on. And, they haven't been on a car yet. I think that they are just what I want, but am going to wait until Spring to put them on.

Yaa one more question, is the H&R sport springs more sensitive on the road than the stock sport suspensions ? in other words, do you feel the bumps and humps in the road more ?
