Red 02-04 MCS w/ white roof. Lady driving.

 

That wasn't me.....mine's a different colour.

On my way in to work, I usually see a PW/B MC and a Red/b MCS.

This morning, I followed the Beat FM (Radio station) MINI near the BCIT area.

 

how do you like the 22mm sway bar?

 

I love it. It is very noticeable that the car turns (or corners) faster. At the softest setting, I do get a bit of understeer still. This is fine as it would be safer when it rains here. I wrote a bit of an initial review here.

On a longer term review, I might mention that I am wondering if it makes the rear tires wear faster. It seems to plant the rear of the car to the road much better also.

I would recommend the rear swaybar to anybody wanting a bit more performance on their MINI. Personally, I would recommend this before even the supercharger pulley upgrade thing. The Supercharger pulley, you would sacrifice fuel mileage and possibly longterm reliability of the engine. I don't see such a sacrifice with a swaybar.
