Fall in love with your MINI all over again with this simple modification.

I have a used Hotchkis 25.5 mm hollow chromoly steel rear sway bar for a Mini R56, which according to their website, also fits the R53 models. We ran this on a 2011 base MINI, but are running a different bar due to sponsorship. They say if you ever plan to do only one mod to your MINI, the rear sway bar upgrade is the one to do.

This rear bar is the absolute biggest bar that will fit, with that being said, it will rub and it will squeak occasionally, but you can now officially say "because race car". The bar is pulled off and ready to be installed. Here is the link for the bar on their website.  Asking $150 OBO

Make sure to replace the bushings when you install the new sway bar.  I have the same bar on my car, and I am replacing the bushings this weekend; when the bushing go out, the thumping and rattling will drive you crazy (take my word on this).  Replacemnt bushings can be obtained from Way Motor Sports in GA for $30; also buy the lubricant he carries for $8.
