Some discussion of the sport suspension vs the sport suspension plus

What exactly is the SSP ? Anti roll bars and
only anti roll bars ? Are the mount the same
points, with the same bushigs?

The MINIUSA site is not conclusive:

Update: 2003 April 20:
Stiffer springs are included in the SSP

According to the January 2002 ETK (which curiously only shows through
MY 2001 Mini), comparing the Sport and Sport Plus suspensions shows
different F/R struts/shocks and different F/R anti-roll bars.  As
with BMW, springs vary with optional equipment, but appear to be the
same between Sport and Sport Plus.  Mounting points appear to be the
same.  Rear anti-roll bar bushings are the same, but fronts are
different.

It looks like the base Mini One can be had with standard or Sport
suspension, while the Cooper can be had with Sport or Sport Plus.
