Installed the NME 22mm 5-way adjustable sway bar today. It's very straightforward, and instructions are very clear. It comes with nice hefty billet aluminum brackets with grease refill nipples and matching bushings. The bar is solid and makes the stock bar look and feel whimpy. The pic of NME vs stock shows the plastic wrapping still on the NME, because it's to keep the bar from being scratched up when installing it through the subframe.

I currently have it in the middle setting (3 of 5) and loving it! The rear end comes around nicely and controllably now vs. the heavy under-steer...heavy the front tires squeal on the on-ramps. I can get a nice lift throttle over-steer now. Double thumbs up on this mod!

Looks like this will be my first mod on my JCW Clubman - I'll do a writeup of my impressions once it's bolted on.

I just readjusted it to setting 3 of 5 (middle hole on both sides) since it feels much better for street driving and very quick steering turn-ins. I'll try out settings 4 and 5 this weekend at the auto-crossing event.
