hey all,

I am new here and I had a quick question...does anyone know what is the size of the sway bars in the front and the rear for a MC non S with the sport package?

Thanks in advance

Sam

 

nobody knows ??

 

Are you talking about a 1st gen (R50) or 2nd gen (R56)?
For the R50, sport suspension the front bar is 22.5mm the rear is 16mm
For the R56, Base = 21.5mm front , 16mm rear
and the sport is 23.5mm front and 18mm rear

cool thanks Dan I have the R56 sport package and that is the answer I needed! thanks again!

 

So why exactly did they make the later MINI softer up front ??

 

not sure...but what do you guys think should I upgrade the front and back or just get a 25mm rear only? since the front is pretty thick...

 

Unless you want to be bringing the tail around on corners, if you get the 25mm, get a matching or slightly larger front bar also.

 

+1 And, it doesn't hurt to match the shocks and springs
