Hello - I am ordering a 2014 JCW Coupe (US Model) and have a question around suspension options. Is the $1,377 JCW sport suspension heads and shoulders better than the $500 optional sport suspension? I can find no data on the differences between the two. What are the differences? I plan to track the car 4-5 times/year.

I would appreciate any owners real world perspectives. Placing the order tomorrow or Monday.

Thanks much.

The JCW sport suspension is a dealer installed accessory, so it'll cost more than $1307. That's the price for the parts, not installation.

I've never driven a car with it, I've been quite happy with the sport suspension, we track the car 4-5 times a year.

 

FYI, your post was censored. For petty reasons, that website is not allowed to be mentioned on the NAM forum. There are filters that block it from appearing in posts and private messages.

 

I did not include that link in my original post, it appeared and I thought it was 'normal'. Guess not. Sorry about that. Thanks.

 

Also, thanks for the help btwyx. Strikes me as very misleading that the mini configuration makes no mention that the JCW accessories are no factory installed and not part of cars actual msrp. So if I want any JCW accessory I have to pay dealer labor on top of the parts. Not very happy about this as I wanted most of them...

 

I went from the standard suspension to the JCW suspension. It made the car fun again. What I mean is I was coming from a 2003 MCS with short suspension. My 2012 felt soft and floaty compared to the 03. I installed the JCW suspension and it brought the feeling of why I buy MINI Cooper's back.

 

Sounds like the current administration in DC.
