R56 JCW springs (with struts if you want them)

Category: Suspension
Price: $200
Private or Vendor Listing: Private Listing
Part fits (you may select multiples): R56
Location (Region): NorthWest
Item Condition: Used

Springs are sold

I have gone to coilovers and have these laying around. You can have the struts if you want them, but they had 50k on them. Springs were likely put on later, but I don't know the mileage as I bought the car used. I put a pic of one of the rears to show they are red springs aka JCW. Let me know.

Shipping is now included for springs alone!

I hear yes lower and a stiffer spring rate than the sports. Frankly these are all I had so I have nothing to compare them to except the coilovers I have now.

Had allot of interest on these. I will get a shipping estimate this weekend and post it up. My work has been to busy for me to get away this week. I will try to fit them in a flat rate box to see if I can keep the shipping to a minimum.

A couple of things:

The shocks will have a label on them, saying either 'Cooper S' or 'Cooper Sport'.

You can usually get the rear springs inside the fronts, to minimize the shipping.

For some people, it would be a benefit to buy the total assembly, it makes installation much quicker, if they like the shocks.

The car will sit about 10 mm lower with the red springs compared to normal MC or MCS springs.

Good luck with sale.

Mike

JT, this is the setup you want, send him a PM. The setup he has will restore the factory ride that your JCW came with. Have these installed, do a 4 wheel alignment, and you should be happy. You can likely sell your coil overs on this forum and cover the cost of installing the factory setup on your car.

i jus got the car and im going to have a friend adjust the coilovers and see how i like it before i buy a factory set. right now the car is dropped down as far as it goes and i hate the way it rides. im hoping raising it 2 inches will make a difference. if not i will let you know.

I understand, but just so you know changing ride height won't change the ride quality any with coils. Same springs at the same rate. You just extend the bottom of the body below the springs.
