Description:	The Sport Rear is a 3 position, 19 mm, tubular sway bar. Recommended for street and track use, the Sport Rear may be used in combination with the stock front bar. All three settings on the Sport Rear are very useful if you attend track days, yet the bar itself is perfectly suitable for daily street use without any harsh ride effects of a larger bar. Plus, you may find yourself using the hardest setting at the track and then backing down to the middle or softest setting for your daily commute. The Sport Rear adjusts easily, in most cases it may be accessed directly through your rear wheel spokes! The set comes complete with polyurethane bushings, bushing brackets and 90-degree zerk fittings for easy lubrication.

Pros:	better cornering
Cons:	none

I had this installed at MOTD on Friday, so I got to drive Hwy 129 both before and after. I loved my car's handling before - I love it more now. It leans less and seems more "planted" in the curves. On the middle of 3 settings (the only one I've tried), the car seems more willing to turn, without any of the possible negatives one might be concerned about. It's ALL good!

Pros:	Tighter turns, harder road plant
Cons:	None

Great new addition. Had all the speed I needed, (perhaps not wanted...) but handling left a lot to be desired. The H-Sport 19mm at the middle setting with the grease fittings did the trick. I strongly suggest one gets lower control aram and the adjustable endlinks to go with the sway bar and mostly suggest you get Way Motor Works to do the install. He'll be at the Dragon this year..Whoohoo, Way.

Pros:	flat more neutral cornering
Cons:	none so far

Best first mod for your MINI. This bar is set to the middle setting. Its installed on a 2011 MCS with base suspension. My MCS understeered pretty much at the limit which is safer for most drivers. It now corners much flatter and you can feel that there is not as much load or pressure on the front when cornering in a speedy manner.
A 19mm RSB is all you need for a street and autocross car. I picked H-Sport since it is well constructed and has grease fittings.

Pros:
Cons:

Had this installed yesterday. I could feel a difference as soon as I left the dealership. the rear end feels planted even with my wornout OEM runflats. Steering does feel lighter and best of all, the cornering is flat and no more torque steer!!
