Oh that's awesome! Glad to be here (for the time being). Got any shop recommendations? For when I acquire the rear sway bar, of course.

The Little Speed Shop is my go to for my Mini when I can’t do it myself.
https://www.thelittlespeedshop.com

Great group of people. Real car enthusiasts. They aren’t the lowest cost, but they are genuine and will do what they can do do good work.

That being said… Installing a rear sway bar isn’t that hard, just intimidating because you have to lower the subframe. I did the one in my R55 Clubman in about an hour.

Thanks for the recs! Yea I would love to do it myself, but I don't have any jacks and I'll be moving out of ROC in a couple of months. Also, super cold weather this time of year to be working on the car outside lol
