I can't find it anywhere on their website.... how much does the jcw suspension lower the mini, and from ppls opinions how does it compare to aftermarket suspension systems like H&R

Also the the mcs really benefit that much from the jcw brakes

The JCW suspension lowers the car 10mm or 0.4" of an inch

. I haven't driven a MINI with the kit fitted, so can't comment what it's like. But there is a detailed review of it here

.

The current JCW brake kit isn't worth having. It just has drilled and slotted front discs, that are the same size as the standard discs. There just for looks really

. There is however a more aggressive JCW brake kit coming sometime this year. It will have bigger rotors, better pads and 4 pot calipers. But it will require 17" wheels, with not all, if any of the current MINI designs fitting over them. So may well require some new wheels too.

Hope this helps.
