    Hi, how can you tell if you have the normal sport suspension or have sports suspension plus? Because my cooper is an used one i don't know and want to find out. Judging by how harsh the ride is i'm probably guessing ss+ but i'd like to make sure.
    Thanks people

    Well the easiest way would be to phone your local dealer and get them to look your cars spec up on their database - they should have all your cars details - not sure if theres a visible way to tell.

    Do as Wul suggests and phone your dealer, or, if you have a set of vernier caliper's measure the bar, SS+ = 17mm, normal = 16mm :)

    ..and teh scientific method! Drive down a cobbled street with your teeth clenched. If you have no teeth at the bottom then you've got SS+.
