Hi!

I have Motoringfile as one of my RSS feeds, and the latest article mentioned is titled "R56 JCW Suspension Details & Install PDF". However, the link to the article doesn't work. I tried it from 2 different computers, it doesn't work for me anyway!

Here's the scoop from MF that is included in the RSS:
Later this summer MINI will be releasing an udpated JCW suspension designed to fit on all R56 MINIs. The new version of this kit differs slightly from the previous version in that it now includes both front and rear stabilizer bars. The addition of the larger sway bars is meant to further help with neutral handling at the limit and allow for most stability out of corners. We at MotoringFile have often thought of the previous JCW suspension kit as the most underrated of all factory accessories. With the R56’s lighter aluminum rear suspension and the addition of upgraded front and rear sway bars, this new version promises to be even better.

Good news about the stabiliser bars! Can't wait to see whether the pricetag makes it a realistic accessory.

Gabe's latest article (MotoringFile » Archive » Buying a 2007 MCS: The Accessories) mentions a pricetag of $875. I don't suppose a straight conversion to £440 is what we can expect? If so, that'd be brilliant!

£440 would be great, though given the price differential between a stock US MCS and a UK one, we're probably looking at more like £640 (and then there's the dreaded labour charges too)
