Recommend a RSB that isn't squeaky?
The RSB on our last Mini was incredibly squeaky and obnoxious. I'd like to get a RSB for our 06 but don't want to put up with the squeaks again. Can I get a recommendation for a ~19mm swaybar that isn't squeaky?
That would be the "Preferred" bar, which is actually made by RSpeed. I recommend checking eBay as RSpeed used to have auction for these and you could pick one up for about $160. After a long, salty winter mine started to squeek a month ago. It's not bad, but first chance I get I'm going to re-lube it using the special grease that came with it...shouldn't take more than an hour.

I just swapped a H-sport 22mm for a H&R 19mm for the same reason -- to eliminate squeaks. As Ovrezee said, no lube required due to the special bushings... also it's only about $170 or so from Turner Motorsports.

Here's a link to the H&R bar at Turner for anyone following the thread:

So this stuff they put inside the bushings really works?

My H&R bar has only been on for about 1 month, with no squeaks so far. It was installed with no lube, as that's what the directions specify. Based on what others have said (who've had H&R bars for a lot longer), I'm not that worried about it squeaking...
