hello all..

I have a Mini Cooper S 2002...

I've done the following upgrades:

1) AMD Technik Pulley and belt;
2) Piper Xross induction Kit
3) AMD's oneclick ECU upgrade
4) Miltek exhaust (not the Manifold)
5) Denso Iridium Spark plugs

Even though i only drive on the road (no tracks) I'm beginning to feel like the stock brakes and suspensions are not keeping up with the upgrades and would like to upgrade.. I have 16" X-lites and would like to know what alternatives are there... i've seen some postings on the Wilwood which look good and am looking at the JCW shockabsorber struts...

What do you think?.. also i'm thinking of the GRS Motorsport Intercooler (its hot where i am) and the Miltek Manifold...

unfortunately i haven't found a local place with a Dynometer to check out bhp increases but im very happy with the output to date... especially on higher gears.. but as always.. the more the merrier!

As far as I know, the only OEM 16" wheels the JCW brakes work with are the bridge spokes, not the x-lites.
