Rear Sway Bar
Anyone put the NM thicker rear sway bar on yet? Trying to justify if it's worth $379. Just like every other aftermarket part for this car, there's really no other brand to compare it with. I had a Hotchkis bar on my old MINi and it made a tremendous difference on handling and body roll. I feel like the newer Countryman needs that for its height and size.

We've had a couple people report back that they love it. MINI has always needed more bar esp a the Countryman as just reducing body roll is a huge improvement.
Let us know if you want one http://www.waymotorworks.com/nm-engi...ountryman.html |
Does this apply to the JCW?

I'm planning on upgrading my Sway bar on my JCW CM when i get it. What is the stock sway bar on JCW and will upgrading all the way to 25mm be TOO much? I was thinking of maybe the 22mm. I do all street driving (no track).

Probably not. I am waiting on a monster Hellwig sway bar for my Jeep Rubicon, supposed to be here Wednesday. Good lord it needs one, talk about swing & sway! It only has 7200 miles, but it needs that upgrade immediately. Shouldn't be to hard to put on. I'll have to look and see if the Countryman is easy as well. I hadn't thought about one for the Countryman. It drives very well now. I will follow this thread. I like easy upgrades :thumbsup: Have a good one, |
I am interested in hearing back on whether or not this makes any difference as people install/upgrade.

I like easy upgrades :thumbsup: Have a good one, We have adaptive suspension on ours and I find in sport mode the car handles really great for what it is! Surprisingly well in fact. We will probably take it camping on occasion and up north to some remote cabins which are down some "uneven" dirt roads so I'll probably leave the suspension as is. Yes it's not an ideal "off road" vehicle, but for mild rough roading it I think it will do. All that said - I have upgraded sways on both my S4 and S2000, The S4 lifts a rear wheel each time I pull into my driveway... :lol: |
