MINI Sport Suspension with a set of H&R sport lowering springs. I did't measure before and after, but I believe my results were pretty consistant with what Ryephile experienced with the same springs: 1.5" in the front and 1" out back.
My only complaint is that the Web Spokes I ordered didn't come with the car. I don't mind the look of the Crown Spokes, but I hate having the lug nuts covered up. Rather have S-lites. It sounds like the dealer got a set for me this week, but I need to wait to my next availible weekend to make the 150mi drive to have 'em installed.

Thanks!
Mostly you can't see them: Sports suspension, LSD, heated seats. Also the HID lamps and multi-function steering wheel. That's it!

Hey k7fdn7sg, what's that badge from?
Here's some pics with the new wheels. (I've also posted some of these elsewhere...sorry for being redundant...)

We made our own badge up from www.chromeemblems.com
Also have TURBO on the back...just for fun! But after getting on the scales last night, I wonder if TUBBO wouldn't have been more fitting for the driver

Wow! Beautiful! That's (almost) my exact spec ... I did the Pacific Blue colorline inside. Looks awesome! Thanks for posting.

Yes, with the Dark Silver paint the wheels look awesome black. Mine are the stock 16" bridge spokes powder coated glossy black. I have a friend in the tire business and one in the powder coating business. I took the wheels off and had the tires, wheel weights and valve stems removed. Since the stock wheels are already powder coated, there is no need to have them sand blasted. I cleaned them up and dropped them off with Jason at A-1 Paint and Body in Granbury Texas (shameless plug for my bud). I picked up the wheels that afternoon, had the tires remounted and balanced ( I used the adhesive wheel weights behind the spokes because the ones they hammer on to the outer lip can nick the powder coating) had them back on the car that afternoon. Jason says if the wheels are stripped and cleaned (less prep work for him) when brought in, he can coat them for about $25 per rim. They look great and should stay that way as long as I keep it off the curbs. I think the black rims put a little hair on the car's chest, lol. Thanks for the comments
