22mm Sway bar

Hi all I am new here so I am still learning. Does anyone know for sure if the countryman all4 shares the same rear sway bar as a 2 wheel drive countryman. Also has anyone here upgraded their rear sway bar. Mine is a Cooper D with a 16mm bar. The sport has a 17mm bar. But most people that do the mod fit a 22mm bar. I just wanted to stop the car leaning in tight corners. Will it improve things, or upset the unique handling of this lovely vehicle. I apologize if this subject has been covered before.

Greetings from SO-FLA,

This is from VIP's website. I purchased and installed on my vehicle and the difference was night/day along with some MR Lowering Springs. It was a pretty easy install and fit & finsih is perfect. Good Luck

"The VIP Sway bar 23MM Countryman rear sway bar will increase handling and cornering grip over the O.E.M. 16MM rear sway bar. Our 3-position rear sway bar is adjustable for those track days. We manufacture all our sway bars from high strength solid 4140 Chromoly. We only use the best material. One prime coat and then one finish coat in Bright Red. This kit comes complete with new greaseable sway bar D bushings and full instructions."
