I'm looking for opinions on the UUC rear swaybar. Anyone know anything about it?

Link is a little wierd. Goes to thier order form, and you have to select MINI then Suspension Tuning.

"UUC Motorwerks 19mm rear sway bar is a solid, two position adjustable bar. The 19mm diameter is the smart driver's choice for neutral handling and long-term durability."

there are no pics

My druthers would be the H-Sport competition sway bar which is three position. Set at the middle position you get neutral handling. in the softest position yields slight understeer and will switch to oversteer when yolu let off the gas mid turn. This the bar that is on my car along with the H-Sport springs. Can't say enough about them. The ride is soooooo much better even with the run-flats.

Cheers,

JD

talked to Rob at UUC last week and this is still a very new product just a month old or so, they also have a new clutch/ flywheel package out now with a sprung hub design to prevent the usual noise and vibration of a "normal" lightweight flywheel. someone on ebay was selling this bar brand new in box for $130 shipped they looked to be a dealer and the link you gave might be that same guy b/c that is the dealer's section at UUC's website i believe. i'm probably gonna go with a 3 way adjustable bar myself.

Yeah, I'd prefer to go 3-way, but the price on the UUC is alot more friendly than some of the other bars. That's the main thing that is pushing me towards the UUC.
