I own a Mini cooper S – March 2003 model.

I seek help from the FORUM on clarification whether I can fit the following optional equipment to my mini cooper S ?

Currently have alloys OZ superlegga 17” x 7” with offset ET37 fitted to car – is it possible to fit a big brake kit without wheel spacers as current offset near maximum ? What brand / size of big brake kit recommended – KAD 4 or 6 pot cailper kit with either 304mm or 330mm discs ( supplied by Cool New Mini Ltd based UK ), or Alta Performance front and rear 328mm discs ( supplied by Alta Performance based US ), or other recommended kit that fits without wheel spacers ?

For front alloy tower brace – which brand / supplier recommended, as many available ?

For adjustable rear anti roll / sway bar - which brand / supplier recommended ?

For adjustable control arms ( supplied by Alta Performance based US ) – any great improvement over factory control arms ?

For end links to compliment rear sway bar ( supplied by Alta Performance based US ) – any great improvement over factory end links ?

Any problem to fit adjustable rear anti roll / sway bar, adjustable control arms, end links etc with current alloy wheel offset ET37 ?

Should I later consider fitting an uprated coil / spring / shocks to car any problem with current alloy wheel offset ET37 ? or recommend stay with factory suspension system i.e. no lowering etc ?

For adjustable short shifter and shift **** ( supplied by Alta Performance based US ) – is this recommended / or good feedback from anyone ?

For changing factory seats to more extreme sports seats – Sparco Seat Milano 2 adjustable back or equivalent, any problem to fit, or recommend good sports seat to fit ?

For fitting additional instrument gauges / gauge pod – Alta Performance provide a gauge pod to mount to existing rev counter but not supplied with boost or oil pressure gauges. Any make / brands available for complete kit i.e. gauge pod including two 52~60mm mm instrument gauges ?

HOPE YOU CAN HELP TO GIVE ME ADVICE.

Best regards
Charles

I'd say check in the respective modification forums. Your brake and wheel questions, hit the Tires, Wheels and Brakes forum. There is a Performance Modifications forum where you can find out what people have done to make their MINIs go faster and handle better, and an Interior and Exterior Modifications forum where you can find out what people have done to make their cars look different.

As a general principle, I tend to try the MCO sponsors first when I'm buying bits. You can click on the Sponsor Directory link in the top section of the main menu to see them all.
