2011 R57 JCW Eclipse Grey

Hi there,
My name is Matt. I moved back to France after 4 years spent in NYC and I decided to make myself a nice gift. I received few months ago my new car. A superb R57 JCW eclipse grey / satellite grey.

Below you'll see some pictures of her. I'm looking for the sping season to use the convertible as it should be!

I already changed the antenna for a short one, replaced the sidelights with leds.

Now I would like to change the suspension. My biggest problem is that there is no JCW suspension kit for the R57. I looked for a H&R cup kit but to my mind, the car is too low with this kit. I don't want to lower the car more than 3/4 of an inch.
Do you have any recommendations?
Should I combine the JCW springs with some bilstein b6?

Thanks for your help!

Welcome. That's not a 2010 though. That's a 2011.

You're right... I received her in 2010, that's why I made this mistake.

I just got home, and drove under some tunnels... I LOVE IT!!!! The sound of the exhaust is insane for a small car like that.
