Ohlins DFV R&T for 2014 JCW Coupe

I was planning to do the JCW suspension on my new Coupe but after researching options I want the Ohlins. Can anyone tell me whether these will fit my car? I have been to ohlins website and they only specify fitment for the R56. Any help would be appreciated. Also plan to do a rear 19mm rear SB. The car will be street driven but also tracked occasionally. Thanks.

i am pretty sure if your chassis code is an R56 it will fit. if i am not mistaken the JCW suspensions fit on the R56S.

Also you should probably go with the Hotchkis 25.5mm sway bar. it has almost been unanimously decided that its the best sway for the R56 from all the stuff that i have read.

You'll love the Ohlins and the 25mm Hotchkis bar is great, but the holy grail goes to Tarett.

Look again and you'll see that they do offer a swaybar for the MINI.

Are the pictures of you StopTech Trophy BBK? Anyhow I see some serious grooves in those rotors.

The rears are Centric Slotted Rotors. And the fronts are slotted Aero Rotors.
