Non-engine differences Cooper vs S, base vs S, differences R56

Hi,
Sorry for long title hoped to help future searches. Did search first

Wondering what the differences between Cooper and S are on Gen II. Some are obvious...
- Engine/trans/ECU/harness/turbo/intercooler/exhaust tip count and location etc
- Exterior trim like scuttles, bumpers, hood/grill.
- Wheel size typically larger on S
- Brakes I think area stronger on an S not sure
- Perhaps springs and struts/shocks, and are these interchangable to upgrade?

What else?



Thanks!
