Is this the stock JCW suspension?

Last year I bought a 2005 JCW with 22K miles. Sweet car! Does the car have the stock S suspension?

Thanks,

Deven

"JCW" has become an ambiguous term since Mini offers so many JCW accessories / packages. IMHO, the only true JCW MINI is the MCS engine tune.
JCW suspension, aero kits, etc are just add ons.

If you have a non-JCW suspension, no big deal. You still have the real McCoy.

Yep, stock suspension. From my internet research if you had the upgraded JCW sport suspension the springs would be red.

+1 look like yep stock suspension. On the bottom white sticker should be 11 digit part number. Whats the numbers?

JCW ones will have the JCW Shocks and Red JCW springs.







Thanks

HiJack alert: ECS, do you sell the R53 JCW springs separately from the whole spring/strut kit?

lol , like the alert.

PM me you Vin and stock options. The shock / strut kit is made to pair with the vehicle weighted springs. But people have gotten just the springs in the past, mostly just to lower an inch.
