I picked up my 2012 JCW. I did not get the JCW Suspension installed yet because for $2800 I could not justify it yet. I did not order the sport suspension either because I am planning on doing some other suspension be it the JCW or after market.

My initial driving impressions of the standard suspension is that its *really* soft. On hard acceleration the car really rocks back and forth. Hard breaking really makes the nose dive down. Hard cornering is not too bad with not too much body roll but long term I am going to want change to a stiffer suspension.

One thing I don't really need which I thought I did is for the car to be a lot lower. Yes there is a bit of wheel gap but honestly if I went much lower than 1/2 inch it would really be to low with the body kit to drive around town safely.
