MCS suspension on one/cooper??
Has anyone tried fitting the MCS's oem suspension on to a one/cooper?? I want to improve the ride and i'm choosing between getting a MCS's shocks and spring OR just lowering springs. I also like the MCs's becauset it also lowers the car alittle bit more

The MCS suspension will be firmer, which will improve handling,
but make the ride harsher.
I have the MCS suspension on my 2/03 build MC....I ordered it with
sport suspension plus....which gives it the same springs,
shocks, and sway bars as an MCS of the same weight range.
Love the handling... also have the harsher early 2003 struts
(they were softened in 05/03, I believe).
I don't think you'll get a drop in ride height by putting MCS
springs on your MC.
If you were going to buy all the MCS suspension bits to swap onto
your MC, it might be worthwhile looking into getting the JCW suspension
instead.
but make the ride harsher.
