Overall happy with the drivability of my 2016 R60 JCW, but from time to time, feel it may benefit from a rear sway bar upgrade. Has anybody considered upgrading their rear sway bar? If so, what specs, make etc and what was the overall result/impression - handling wise of course

 

We do sway bars on the R60 all the time as it is the most popular suspension mod on the MINI.
I would highly recommend it as even if you aren't looking for the handling improvement, the bar will reduce the body roll which alone is worth the upgrade.

Adding a rear sway and even lowering springs is a must on the Countyman piggy. I made my Countryman so much better

Thanks gents; you just did the final twisting of my arm for me to take the plunge. Gotta get rid of that body roll. Started with a front strut tower brace which helped but still need a little extra stability. That JCW pictured looks awesome!

I am assuming the 22mm adjustable is the way to go. Do most sway bars come with mounting brackets and bushings? Just wondering.

BTW, have ordered from WMW in the past but the site is not accessible here in Canada Suggestions?

 

let me know, I ship to Canada for suspension, tuning, turno..etc

i have the WMW RSB, and its awsome. it helps the R60 out so much. even makes it better for the motion sick people that ride passenger

 

Way rear bar is the best...had on my last R60 and will be ordering again for my current car!

 

Installed my Way RSB this weekend....👍👍👍...100% different car afterwards!

 

Please explain...
I just got my Countryman All4S 2 weeks ago. Have noticed some body roll and "under steer?". Running on 225/45/18s Goodyear Efficient Grip ROF and standard S suspension. My e46 ZHP does not roll like this (on Koni Special Actives). Was wanting to put 235/50 or 225/55 on the 18s but first wanted to address the body roll.
Thanks

P.S. I do NOT want to lower the car.

 

I’ve owned BMWs and Minis forever and modified all...on this Countryman (my second) my changes have been cosmetic but I did add a M7 front strut bar a while back as much to stop interior rattles as to improve stability and most recently the Way RSB.
I’m running stock Pzero runflat (can’t wait to change out) 225x40x19. Again bottom line the back end is stable, less roll and turns on a dime. No other suspension mods...as they say “best bang for buck”...
