JCW 18" Wheels

I have the JCW 18" Wheels on my JB 2005 MCS, and was wondering if someone could recommend a lowering spring that would not cause the tires to rub.

Thanks

I had the JCW springs with my JCW wheels... no problems and it lowered it a little bit... Only about an inch or so... I dont know if you want more tho. HK springs maybe?

JCW Wheel Specs?

Out of curiosity does anyone have the specs on the JCW wheels (width, weight, etc.)?

Thanks

All of the OEM wheel specs you want are in an FAQ at MINI2.com:

Also went with JCW suspension with my JCW 18" rims. Have worked out fine.

Nice

Looks nice. Can you install just the JCW springs, or do you need to install the whole suspension kit?

I do not know for sure but I want to say why not. The springs are a separate part number and have to be assembled to the new JCW struts.

Go to following for pix of JCW suspension install http://bonz.smugmug.com/gallery/727569
