You're going to LOVE it! I'm driving around in an 05 MCS with a JCW kit and it's absolutely incredible.
Oh yes, Guysdaman, you're going to absolutley love it

Your bank manager might not be so pleased but that's a whole different issue.

I was also thing of getting the brakes and/or the suspension upgrades, but don’t think I can justify the extra cash.
I picked up my upgraded 04 MCS on Saturday from JCG having had the 210 package AND the suspension upgrade. It pulls like a train and sticks firmly to the road on the twisties - not skitty or as uncomfortable as some lead me to believe despite my S Spokes and run-flats. It is top fun. A great all-round package and feels very together. Very tight.

Is the strut brace useful for fast road or only for track work??
Not sure about the strut brace; I am sure I read somewhere on here that someone had crashed their strut-fitted Mini and fared badly due to the effect on the crumple zones. Food for thought perhaps. Like you, I'd be curious to understand this option better

Although it does not specifically look at the JCW options, this thread has some info that you might find useful
Strut Brace
