NEED HELP! Suspension

Hello everyone

I've been searching for many days on upgrading the suspension on my cooper s jcw convertible that I'll be picking up in a couple of weeks.

Mods will include TSW X-Brace, 19 mm rear sway, and I'm looking for something that will lower the car about .5 - 1 inch. This will be a daily driver and I just don't want to destroy the car. I'm willing to spend time and $$ to get the perfect balance. Are coilovers an option? Or should I stick with some lowering springs like the TSW's?

Thanks for the help

Hi Mini Tennis and welcome to NAM.
Here is a link to a thread that discusses this. It has additional links in there. Since, there has been others that have used other set ups.

Daily Driver?
Go with the TSW springs and maybe a set of KONI Yellows.
I have 'em and like 'em!

Welcome,
Jim
