Just a note of clairification. JCW springs are always red. You can purchase a JCW car with standard sport suspension which would be black springs.
Which do you have?

You can also get a JCW with the 'base' suspension. I bought a set of struts with springs from a JCW, and the labels said 'Cooper S'. My MCS was ordered with the sport suspension, and the shock labels had 'Sport' on them.

Struts/shocks are black....bump

 

So to clarify these are not really JCW parts. All JCW cars come with the same base suspension as any MINI would, even a justa. It's really a shame that MINI does this.

 

Correct, I did not know this. I apologize for the miss post. It's still a sport suspension...so its better than a base model. Thanks guys!

If you compare the actual part numbers (sway bars, front struts, rear shocks) between a Cooper S and a factory JCW you'll find the parts are exactly the same with the exception of the front struts. This applies whether it's a Standard or a Sport suspension option, either of which are available from the factory, and both have black springs.

The unknown is the F/R springs. If you look at your spring coils you'll note they are color coded with 2 or 3 dabs of paint, identifying the spring rate engineered for your particular MINI.

Spring rates are calculated based on the weight of your MINI, influenced primarily by heavier options such as transmission (Std./Auto.), Sunroof (Yes/No), etc.

I've not heard of anyone cracking the spring rate color codes but if you've ever driven a JCW and an MCS back to back you'll note the suspensions are clearly not the same.

The special RED spring "JCW Sport Suspension" is an entirely different (and very expensive) option which I believe is dealer installed.

 

Black springs, black shocks....bump!!
