There's one on my car - I think you know where to find it. :D A slightly larger front bar might be nice on my car if you have something reasonable to do a trade with.

I want the smallest one available. So I guess that would be the 16mm.
I know nothing on what options there were with this on the non-S cooper.
Any help is great here.
Jason, Haaaa... almost stole yours. But I think I'd like to keep all my bars untill I can tune the car in. If you can find a replacement then let's do it.
Thanks all

You can get it from MINImania, the part# is 31 35 6 757 071.

This bar is from the MINI One is Europe, but from what I've been told, you can't get it from a US dealer.

Wouldn't a mini One bar be very beneficial for the twisties given it is smaller hence making th car rotate better? How much is one of those bars

About $200, + about $30 for the bushings. Too much!
All depends on what spring rates you run, if this is a better way to go rather then go bigger rear.
