So the Works kit is fitted, congrats and enjoy

What now ? What´s next ?
Rumours about JCG developed Works II, brake and suspension kits.
I´ll sign up for Works II any day, no alternatives worth mentioning

JCG brakes and suspension will be an interesting alternative to others such as Brembo.
What are you up to ?

Max,
I´ve thought about it, but I´m not sure how much an anti-sway bar will add to the pleasure ? Anyone ?
When will you give in and fit your own Works kit Max ?

Right now, I´m looking into Brembo brakes, and some suspension kit...

Hmmm, well I'm waiting to see what JCW will offer next for mine, but apart from that my Schnitzer springs go on my car on the 14th of October

Whoo hoo!

Quite a few on here reckon its the next best mod to get (as are uprated springs/dampers etc)

(I don't have these yet)

regards

I'll second the rear sway bar. Money well spent.

I'm thinking about getting the Alta intake, 61mm throttle body, and Milltek header for my JCW although really only considering the intake at this point. No plans yet to upgrade the brakes or the suspension.

Ohh, I may opt for the JCW seats whenever they officially arrive.

Better look into a rear sway bar then....

I´m really looking forward to a brake and suspension kit from JCW, but some alternatives are worth considering based on past history JCW price tags....

My dealer hinted at an RS version being talked about with 217 BHP and some styling goodies!

Possibly using the new engine!!

I´ve heard rumours about a 215 bhp Works kit, brake and suspension kits etc from JCW, but based on the current 1.6 L. engine. An e-mail with a few questions sent to JCW, no answer yet.
New engine from Peugeot in 2005, or have I missed something ?

Confirmed by JCW :
Both brake and suspension kits are being developed by JCW. Hopefully, approved by BMW Group next year.

Bring it on !
