hi,
i've got a 01/2002 mini cooper (non S), and i've noticed there is a difference between the suspension set up as compared to post 03/2002 models...
If there is a thread on this could someone please tell me... i've tried searching but haven't been able to find anything.
Now i was wondering if there was any difference performance wise? and why did they end up changing it?
Also from memory when i changed the springs i remember that one of the connections was in a different location but cant remember which one....=/... may have been the sway bar link.....
i have also noticed that the springs themselves look quite different... which i am assuming would mean they would behave differently.

cheers
Jono
