New owner: JCW suspension refresh

Hi All, Just picked up an 04 JCW. Looking to get input on doing a refresh of the suspension. Scope of refresh is street use only. Keeping stock ride height.


What bushings are people going with?


What double adjustable coilovers are people happy with?

Get a set of powerflex lower control arm bushings, if you have over 60,000 miles they are toast. If you plan on keeping a stock ride height why go with coil overs? I'd recommend a set of Koni yellows instead.

Well, if I run tires with the OD slightly off from the OEM tires I'd like to be able to tweak it to stock ride height. Are the Koni yellows double adj? Link?
