Rear Sway Bar 22mm anybody?

Has anybody done the upgrade to either a 19mm or 22mm rear sway bar on the CM? Please chip in your thoughts and perhaps also installation tips? Thanks!

ditto. I've searched high and low and can't find one. Its probably my most desired mod too-- quite a bit of understeer in my CM, even with the sport suspension.

17mm for stock setup
18mm if u have the sports suspension

I wonder if the R56 rear sway bar would work on ours, it looks identical... Though our chassis is based on thr bmw x1, so its an entirely diffferent car

Just got emailed back from Way Motor Works, their 22mm RSB "does not" fit the 2012 Countryman... :(

Anybody got any new leads on this?

Well there's supposedly a JCW Countryman available soon. It's supposed to have a stouter rear bar. Don't know if it will fit (rear end is a bit wider, and I don't know if they just added wheel spacers or changed the back end).

From what I read, the JCW will have the current Sport Suspension option as standard.
