spring questions

Cannot type in the search field on my phone! So, please excuse the newb question. I have a2011 S hardtop, with the standard suspension. I just want to know how much lower the "sport" springs are, and also the JCW springs, if anyone has that info. Just want to lower it very modestly, on a budget.
Thanks

Sport suspension is no lower. I don't remember how low JCW is. Also JCW is not a budget item you can find aftermarket cheaper. I will be putting up my NM springs and Koni Yellows for sale soon at a reasonable price. I am upgrading to some coilovers.

I just took off my JCW suspension off my 2012 Cooper JCW. I replaced my suspension with coilovers, I haven't decided if I'm gonna sell my jcw setup but I know tire rack has a great deal on 2 different models of H&R Springs.

The JCW sport suspension (dealer installed, not factory) is supposed to be 10mm lower.
