How do I know if I have the sport suspension or not?

I was told from the dealer that my 04 MC had it but, they've lied to me before.... I do have the DCS toggle switch. Magic Mini told me that the rear sway bars are the same size as those on the MCS but, I have no stock MCS to check it out... Is there another way to tell? Thanks

Call 866-ASK-MINI and give them your vin. They should be able to tell you every option your car shipped with.

Sport Suspension is standard on a 04 MC.
Sport Suspension Plus is an option, and has the same
struts and sway bars as the MCS and similar but not always identicals
springs as the MCS.
Here's a parts summary for SS (Sport Suspension - standard on MC)
vs. SS+ (Sport suspension plus - optional of MC, standard on MCS):

Front Bar:
Cooper with SS 22.5mm part# 31 35 6 757 072 w/ bushing 31 35 6 757 146
Cooper or MCS with SS+ 24mm 31 35 6 758 301 w/ bushing 31 35 6 758 302

Rear Bar:
Cooper with SS 16mm 33 55 6 754 818
Cooper or MCS with SS+ 17mm 33 55 6 754 819
same bushing for SS and SS+ rear bars

Struts:

Cooper with SS 31 30 6 759 245/246 (F=...245/R=...246)
Cooper or MSC with SS+ 31 30 6 759 247/248 (F=...247/R=248)

Springs

For the Cooper with SS : (choice depends on vehicle weight with options chosen)

31-33-6-756-645 or -646 or -647 front
33-53-6-756-657 or -658 or -659 rear (in usa only -658 or -659)

For the Cooper with SS+ : (choice depends on vehicle weight with options chosen)

31-36-6-758-310 or -311 or -312 front
33-53-6-758-354 or -355 or -356 rear

For the Cooper S : (choice depends on vehicle weight with options chosen)

31-36-6-758-311 or -312 front
33-53-6-758-356 or 379 rear

Apparently I have both the sport + and premium packages. The Rocket City chapter had a meeting tonight and this is what they told me
