I have an 09 JCW but I think it's just regular suspensions. I think it's kinda harsh. Will replacing the stock springs with H&R make it more comfortable...or should I keep the stock springs and replace the shocks with Koni or Bilstein (I don't think this is out on the market yet) make it more comfortable. OR replace both the stock springs and shocks. I don't do any tracking..maybe tossing it around the corners when cops aren't looking at best. Anybody know what's the most cushiest springs/shocks?

 

I thought the H&Rs are pretty harsh, I would think they would be worse than stock JCW springs since you are dropping an additional 1+ inches. I have the NM Springs on our Clubman and like them, but they are harsher then stock.

 

but i thought progressive is more comfortable than linear....so that was my reasoning...anyone got experience with H&R or eibach? Are they interchangeble? I had H&R sport in my EG civic long ago and loved the ride...but then again..i had bilstein shocks too.

 

I have NM springs and Koni FSDs and the ride is very good.

 

You're like the only one on here with Koni FSD.

 

I've had more then a few customers trying to tame the ride of the 09 JCW. here's what we have learned.

Ride comfort is very subjective.

None of the current springs on the market will tame the ride.

Shocks don't help much.

Tires are the issue. Guys that are running the 18's have found going to a taller side wall and or one size wider does help with ride comfort.

Some of the Coilovers can also help, but only if you leave them tall and set the dampers for comfort.

The MINI Cooper is a Sports Car and will always ride like a sports car.
