Question about JCW Suspension

Hey I was just reading recent threads and I like the Idea of the whole JCW Suspension, but I was just wondering if you could put M7 Springs on the JCW struts/ thought if it was a good idea.. Also if you think it was a good idea do you happen to know the part numbers ???
Thanks,
Jm

1) Yes, I would think you could put M7 springs on JCW struts.
2) No, I don't see this as a good idea as the valving of these struts is tailored to the JCW springs, which I'm assuming are quite different from the M7s - linear versus progressive rates, for starters.
3) Given the answer to #2, I will respectfully decline the opportunity to provide you with part numbers.

...and, the JCW spring rates are tailored to your exact VIN. Meaning the weight of your car determines which set of springs you get.

I would not mess with this sytem if you buy it. If you want M7 springs, retain the existing dampers and save lots of $$$
