It's time for me to upgrade my R56 Cooper S, and I want a rear sway bar.
I know that there are a few people out there that are making them for the new generations. But I am sold on a certain model and the company says that they dont fit.

Has anybody put on on their car yet? Has anybody tried to put on a 1st gen. on the 2nd gen MINI's?

I need to spend some money, HELP!! hehe

Scott.

In the UK we call them Anti-Roll Bars.

When you order a MCS you can specify either Standard or Sports Suspension. From what I have heard the only difference is SS has slightly thicker Anti-Roll Bars, hence more resistance to roll.

You could ask your Dealer to get a pair from BMW Mini and just replace them.
