You may notice the lack of the sport suspension or JCW suspension. I'm ordering through military sales and we can't add any port added options or I may have gone with the JCW suspension. So rather than have the sport suspension installed at the factory I'll just order a set of coils (not sure yet, maybe H&R or Eibach coils. Possibly KW as well, I haven't really decided yet.

I've used the v2s a few times before on a couple of my show cars and never been disappointed. It took forever to get the damper settings where I wanted them though. The sportiest I've owned was a set of Eibach Pro-Streets. A tad harsh, but livable, on the street, and fantastic on the track. I kind of wish Koni had something available as I've always liked their dampers but never tried their coilovers. H&R only lists the Street Performance coils for the JCWs, and then only for the hardtop, but the Justas and S's also have the RSS's available. Hmmmm...

So many choices! lol

ST makes a really nice coilover for the Mini. ST is made by KW. So you save money vs. buying the V1. Same thing just different housing and warranty. I think I might have some V2s in stock where I can give you a deal. PM me if your interested.
