I just installed the Mini Madness 22mm Sway bar on my Mini. Put it on the middle setting. It really handles gRRReat. Flattens it out nice.

thanks

At the present setting it does leave alittle understeer so it is managable under normal driving. I chose not to put it on the stiffist setting since I do not race my Mini. It also seems to take away some of the harshness from the runflat tires. Why and how I don't have a clue. But I like It.

Just return from a trip where I was able to really test out the new sway bar. It is definitely the best mod you can do to the Mini. Handling is superb.

how much was it / how hard is it to fit ?

the mini madness sway bar can be gotten for $200 at www.mini-madness.com, and from some of the reports that i have read on here, it can take 1-2 hours with a couple of people (much easier to have a helping hand) to install this.

I bought on Ebay as a Blem (powder coating was not up to par) directly from Mini Madness.
for 130.00. Yes it did take about 2 hours to install. The project is not difficult just time consumming. And trust me it's deffently worth the time.
