Has anybody without the SS+swaped out their rear bar for a S (SS+) bar? My concern is this - the car came from the factory with a certain ammount of understeer dialed in which is a nice saftey net for street driving. I don't want to completly get rid of that saftey net - just reduce it slightly. I also don't want to stiffen up the ride much at all as I drive in extremly urban areas. Any feedback from anyone who has done this or who has input would be much appreciated. Has any body done a 19mm bar? Hollow or solid? I know people are doing 22mm bars on the S - what are peple choosing for the cooper? I prefer the factor bushings (or bushings that don't need to be lubricated) or something with a grease fitting.

Last of all - any feedback on blistein shocks or any other shocks other than koni?

BTW H&R sway bars come with teflon coated bushings which doesn't require lube and doesn't squeak. I have them on my MINI and it stays quiet even in -25C weather.

 

i have a full set of SS off an S if you would like it cheap. it does make the car handle a bit better, but a 19 or 22 would be better. but not as cheap. feel free to give me a call.
