Swaybar on R56 MC... upgrade??

Hi,

For normal driving I love my MC's stock suspension. After the MINI Trackday last Thursday however I'm definitely thinking a beefier sway bar is in order... what do you think:



I used to race/track motorcycles but know pretty much nothing about car suspensions. Would a sway bar help for twisty or track driving without losing daily driver comfort?

You need a 19mm rear bar.

That's gonna be my first suspension mod. I talked with a guy in Moab who had a lot of mods (including rear asb, coilovers, exhaust, intercooler). He said the asb made the most differece for the least money by far. Said he noticed the turning improvement right away. Ride should be the same.
