I have a line on a bk/wh 02 MC built in Feb. Should I avoid the sway-bar-to-strut-seat MCs because the limit suspension choices? Is there anything else that needs to be considered? Thanks.

Does the car still have that front Suspension? It can be retrofitted with the current suspension, but I'm not sure of the cost.

Mark Chiles runs an early suspension car, but he has the only set of Koni's available for it.

My MCS is an early build and the front suspension was upgraded on warranty. I went in and told them it pulled to the left and they did the upgrade no problem. The seat back adjustment can also be updated no charge. Just make sure you get this done before suspension mods.

I have an 02/02 build MC.

If you can describe the suspention changes that were not in
the early-build cars, I'll take a look at mine and let you know
what I find.

I'm impressed that Mini would be upgrading. Was there a recall issued? Has anyone else had their suspension upgraded for free?

What seat back adjustment problem is there? Obviously, I've come late to the game.
