Stock Suspension Parts Question

Mods' wasnt sure if this is the right section, so move if you need to.


Here is my question folks. I pick up my MCS in about a week and half. I am getting the JCW suspension put on.

I told the MA that I was expecting my original suspension when I pick up my car. The suspension will only have 5 miles on it and I want to keep it.

I may sell the parts on ebay or keep them for whatever reason. Its my parts, i paid for it, and knowing dealers they might try to resell it.

My question is what should I expect in the box of parts? I am expecting every part needed if I decided to take the JCW suspension off and put the stock back on. couple missing small bolts or screws is fine, but all the major components.

I am not very mechanically inclined, so the more specific you can get would be appreciated..

thanks!!

Car only has 2 sway bars....

I assume the JCW swaybars come with their own bushings....so you should expect 4 of the original bushings as well for the sways.

No,

4 struts
4 springs

and maybe 1 or 2 sway bars, but I don't think any (certainly not on the gen 1). The stiffer sway bars come with the sport suspension.

Very unlikely. It would be too much of a bother for them to try to resell those parts. They would go straight into the trash bin. (Wheels are a different matter).

JCW kit includes swaybars now...

http://www.motoringfile.com/2007/08/...rt-suspension/

he set-up includes not only the four shock absorbers and springs that are individually tailored to your car’s weight (based on the options specced from the factory) but also both front and rear upgraded sway bars.
