Suspension Upgrades: Rear Swaybar

We have a 2013 JCW Clubman R55. We've upgraded to H&M Sport Springs which lowered and stiffened it up a little, but it still has some body roll in the corners. I'm thinking rear swaybar. Whats the best rear swaybar on the market right now for a R56 and/or R55?

Finally did the install of the HSport swaybar. It was kind of a pain in the ***, having the lower the rear subframe, but once the stock one was out, the HSport went in fairly easy. And it's super beefy, much bigger than stock. I highly recommend it!!!!!

Glad your enjoying it, we found the Hsport bars to be the best.

Just though I would add to this...I have an 06 MCS JCW and I just replaced my rear sway bar with a competition H-Sport RSB, also replaced the stock sport springs with M7 springs, and added rear lowe adjustable control arms and polyurethane front control arm bushings and poly front sway bar bushings and all I have to say is Holy Cow what a difference...90 degree turns I dont brake for them anymore...car sits flat through every turn it feels like im driving a porche and not a Mini its insane...RSB is the best bang for the buck next to the supercharger pulley swap.
