Doh, I already have a 22mm swaybar. But then again, what don't I have?

Nice deal for anyone looking for a swaybar upgrade.

 

Hmm, you could get a Pilot Wrench to tighten that loose nut behind the wheel!


-Paul!

 

I knew this would come out right after I get a bar.
But I still prefer a 19mm over the 22mm bar for the stock suspension.

 

Maybe he actually needs one of these...

But on topic, I have the 22mm Madness bar. It definitely makes things handle nicer. I've noticed a dramatic reduction in the push going around certain corners. It's currently set on the middle setting and with my car I can feel the rear wanting to break loose when really pushing it through corners. I actually did have that happen once too, but I was expecting it and it it did exactly as I wanted.

 

I will be hopping on this deal...been bugging John about making a deal out of this for a while.

 

Hey, I want one, but I live in Texas... don't think you'll install it for $300 here... huummmm how much for the bar with shipping to 77059?

 

Does any one know what the horsepower gain is with the CAI & cowl mod? I did the 15% pulley with LDG and was well satisfied with the performance and HP increase.

 

Chappy,

The sway bar is usually $199 www.mini-madness.com Give George a call over at Madness and see what he can do.

LDG is a garage and not a vendor that sells products online at this time however the guys over at LDG are awesome so it wont hurt to give them a call. www.luckydoggarage.com

 

THanks you Hemi-Mini.

 

The Dyno Madness has on their web site shows a peak 9hp & 6ft-lb gain.
Now, take your grain of salt with that.

It's a good mod and if you are not inclined to make you own CAI or you are unable to install one yourself, then this one is pretty good. I like their filters because they have 8 layers of gauze. K&N has only 4. I decided to make my own because I'm cheap.

If you are really want to know all there is to know about CAI, then do a search. You'll have plenty to read and you'll find that CAI discussions can be rather emotional.

 

John a.k.a Lucky Dog... Price diff for cabrio? Do you recommend this same bar for the cabrio? My suspension is otherwise stock, have Kosei K1's and Goodyear F1's in 215/45-17.

 

Your best bet would be to call them and ask about that (410-489-0230). Chances are he would still recommend the same thing.

Getting adventerous now? Even after the experiences you've had with snap oversteer?

 

what does the swaybar change/improve? (handeling??)

 

It improves the handling. The larger swaybar will bring the MINI to a zen state or should I say neutral state of handling.

Not sure with the Cooper, but the S has plenty of understeer straight from the factory and this will help reduce that. Toss it around a corner or two and you will be able to tell the difference real quick with the beefed up swaybar.

 

Jeremy, I have my old S sway bar that will improve your handling. If you ask Ssallykat, she has some new bushings she may give/sell you. I was going to give it to her, but she decided to get a new MINI instead. I will give you my S sway bar if you ask nicely.

 

Well, keep in mind that if his MC has the "Sport Suspension Plus" option, he already has the same sway bar that the MCS comes with (unless I'm sorely mistaken... but I'm pretty sure!).

Jeremy, do you know if your MINI has the "Sport Suspension Plus" or just the regular "Sport Suspension"? There IS a distinct difference with and without the "Plus".

 

Got my swaybar installed today over at LDG and let me say it again these guys are wicked awesome!

The swaybar is a must install for the performance minded MINI enthusiast! I had plenty of fun on the twisties after the install and I could not get enough of the zen feeling this bar has brought to my MINI!

Thanks LDG!

BUMP!!

 

I totally, full-heartedly, 100%, agree.

 

Just waiting for the phone call letting me know that the exhaust system is in!! Planning on swapping the headers and everthing after that! Woohooo...cant wait!

 

I could use a pulley

 

The LDG Pulley Special is still going so just give them a call and they will take care of you! I believe its $250 for the pulley and install. The deal gets sweeter if you go with the CAI.

 

hmm

 

can I get it done this friday morning?

 

Call the shop for scheduling. They work hard and don't have much time to get on NAM
