R52 Cooper S Convertible 2008 Suspension

Hello folks, somewhat new to your forum. I bought a used 2008 Cooper S Convertible (R52) and was wondering what, if any, recommendations there are for steering/suspension/cornering upgrades that people recommend. It has 23k miles and I am not unhappy with the ride, but at highway speeds on circle ramps, I would like a firmer feel in cornering. I have 205/45 ZR 17 88W M&S tires, with what I assume to be factory original suspension. Any suggestions?

I would recommend coilovers. You get better dampening and adjustable lowering range. It will help with the handling. Let me know if I can get you a price.

Yes, a price would help me decide.

R50/R52/R53 ARE 02-06

Coilover kits by ST for the Mini platform are $976 shipped.
