Description: New for the R53 MINI our lower stress bar is made from super strong lightweight Cro Moly steel. Unlike other systems on the market that use individual pieces bolted together to make up their bars the Madness bar uses solid one piece construction guaranteeing you flex free performance. The Madness Bar is also made using very tight tolerances, this also assures the bar does its job 100% of the time and is not suseptable to sloppy performance over time.

Pros: Works well to solidify the MINI, more precise handling
Cons: None

This works a LOT better than the OMP bar.

Pros: Eliminates creaks and groans while driving, improves handling at most speeds
Cons: Somewhat noisy at times

This seriously should be default equipment on all Minis. Car feels extremely solid now. Rattles, creaks, and groans are pretty much eliminated now, even over hard bumps. Hardest part about installing is finding the pre-drilled holes underneath the car.

While driving at low speeds and cranking the wheel, the bar does create some noise. Clearance over speedbumps is not an issue from my experience, as its low-profile is right up against the frame/sub-frame.

Accelerating out of turns is now like butter. Excellent upgrade to any Mini. And at the moment, it's on sale at mini-madness.
