What suspension components are avaliable?

As the Title says, I would like to start a list of What Suspension components are avaliable for the Mini Cooper. I would like to have what the part is and what they offer with benifits

I'll start with what I know:

Coilovers kits- A perfect balance between spring rates and struts

Struts- Used to contol damping and rebound on springs

Springs-Lower and put a higher spring rate on your Mini and provide a lower center of gravity and better overall handling

Camber plates- makes so you can fine tune your camber, caster, and toe

Sway Bars- Decreases roll

Sway bar endlinks- adds or takes away preload

Strut Tower Bars- strenthen cars frame

Under Strut Systems- strenthen cars frame

Bushings (not sure what ones are available)

PLEASE ADD OR CORRECT ME ON ANYTHING!

You could start with Search... I believe all of this has been discussed before.

While combining all information into a post or sticky would be nice, I think Search and Cut/Paste would be your friends for this.
