Sports Suspension

Hi,

I have recently bought a Mini Cooper Countryman S. I happen to live in Brazil and, unfortunately, the sale personnel is not very well informed and information about the packages that come equipped is scant (we do not have the chance to pick and choose options; the cars come pre-configured).

For those reasons, I am unsure whether or not my Mini Countryman came equipped with the Sports Suspension.

Do you guys have any idea of how I could check myself if my car is equipped with the Sports Suspension?

Thanks in advance,

Peter

Not sure if it is that easy to figure out. I believe it is a slightly thicker stabilizer (sway) bars, upgraded struts and springs. Here is a link with some photos.

Hey TJANK!

Thank you very much for your reply and link! Yeah, I don't think I have the expertise to pinpoint those changes. I was thinking more about the height. From what I heard, Countrymans equipped with the Sports Suspension are a bit lower. Would it be possible for me to find the measurements and compare those to mine?

Thank you once again!

Punch the last 7 of your VIN into this page and get all the options it came with.
