does anyone know the exact difference between ss and SS+? Dampers? Roll Bars? Springs? how can you tell the two systems apart by looking at them?

i had a look on the search but seemed to lose myself in people deciding which is best, i wana know whats different.

My dealer said there is a database with the spec of every mini as it left the factory. is this true? where can i find it? was he talking what some dealers are good at?? it would be interesting to know what has been added since it left the factoy.

SS+ is offered with the Chilli Pack and you have to Specifically ask for it to be fitted, otherwise it will be SS.

Bugger!
some people recon ss is better, depends what roads you drive on? You may pref abit of comfort but i like mine HARD!
i didn't realise there was a slight difference in rear springs between a cooper with ss+ and a cooper s.

ss+ is only uncomfortable on poor residential roads - can't say i notice a problem elsewhere.
I'm quite annoyed, i thought i had a Cooper S in all but engine, but now my little Mini is just an in between! :(

I'm going to go cry myself to sleep..

I Wouldn't worry about it-There is not that much difference :)

Is yours in production yet? If not, there is still a chance that you can have it changed!!!
