NEW ECS Sway Bars!
NEW ECS Sway Bars!
ECS Tuning
If you're looking to improve the handling of your MINI Cooper Rear Sway Bar this is the best place to start! These cars have more body roll than desired and the stock sway bar doesn't quite do enough for most owners to be satisfied.
Larger diameter sway bars have a higher torsional spring rate which helps resist excessive body roll. By eliminating the excessive body roll and changing the stiffness of the sway bars front to rear, we can improve handling characteristics by reducing understeer and keep the tire in full contact with the ground. By upgrading to the ECS Tuning Solid Sway Bar, you will experience less body roll, and a massive improvement to the handling characteristics of your vehicle, with virtually no sacrifice in ride quality.
Larger diameter than the stock
ECS Red powder coated for great looks and corrosion resistance, comes with ECS Tuning sticker to place on the bar
Polyurethane bushings - reduces flex at mount as compared to OEM rubber
Includes silicone grease for bushing to be applied
Fitment:
Fits: Select R50-F60 MINI Cooper 2002-2024
And Free shipping!

Hello, its in the package for a simple install doc. Not full set by step. I will talk to my shop guys, i watched them do the install a little.
**Tilted sub frame down and removed old sway bar, install the new one, tighten back up. This was all done on a rack** KInd of like i did mine on the R58 JCW. Its eaiser to sometimes drop the full subframe but is depends on your ability and if you have a rack/lift. Transmission jack helps to hold it.

https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sho...diagId=31_1084 and https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sho...diagId=31_1101
Other installs are pretty much the same. https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...way-bar-4.html
