Just ordered the same kit for my clubman. I like what I'm seeing. Looks like I made the right choice.

Cool. Did you MCS come with sport suspension or the standard?

Nice, on the cup kit, do you have more adjustment to bring the rear down a little more?
Looks great with the current stance, would like to tuck the rears a bit more, if I would use this type of kit!

Thanks for the comments.
The driving experience is much better now. :wink:
I'm not too sure if there's any adjustments I could do to lower the rear end.
I believe this is the way the cup kits sit.
I've got about 2250 miles on this car, and i'm curious to know if it'll settle down a small amount.
Time will tell. -
Did you have to do rear control arms?
-
Installing adjustable rear control arms isn't a must in order to install this cup kit.
You could install adjustable rear control arms if you'd like to manipulate how much rear camber you have.
This cup kit installed without any problems.
The car has -1.5 natural rear camber after the install.
The front camber after install is -0.6.
Personally, I like this amount of rear camber in the rear, and I am about to buy some adjustable front camber plates to add some negative camber.
The car still rotates very well and rear stability is very good.
The car feels confident and safe.
I hope this helps any.

Here's just a couple more pics about how the cars looks with this specific kit and 215/45r17 tires. The car is stock otherwise.
In the last pic here, you can see that the rear camber (un-adjusted after install really isn't bad at all.)
I have about 3200 miles on the car now, and I'd say that there are no significant height changes to report.
