Worth keeping stock suspension after coilover install?

Hey guys, quick question -

Would you say it is worth it to keep the stock suspension parts if the dealer were to install JCW coilovers? Or just leave them with the dealer?

Any idea what you could sell them for privately? Even if it is a conservative guess, any feedback is appreciated.

Best,
Brian

I did the same coilover upgrade when new @ the dealer.


I sold the oem JCW suspension for $500.00 to a f56 cooper owner.


Its a good upgrade for those cars.


Good luck

^^^ What he said! Why give it to your dealer? Even if it wasn't a sport suspension I would keep what came off the car I paid for, especially brand new!

$500 is definitely worth it. Just wasn't sure if there was much of a market for it or what people are willing to pay. I also hate dealing with Craigslist.

But thank you guys for the info, I'll definitely hang onto them.

Put the set up for sale on the Market board on this site.
Aim the add to f56 Cooper & Cooper S owners has the JCW oem suspension is superior to theirs.
