Combined with FSDs, it's what the MCS should have come with. Total transformation of handling/cornering and dramatic improvement in ride quality.

Stock rear bar ( Looks stock? )
I started looking at rear sway bars also. The front of the car does understeer a lot. Which rear bar looks the most like the stock rear bar. ( I like the stealth look. ) Don't care adout the color, that can be changed with some sandpaper and rattle can. Also has anyone removed there stock "S" springs and install the reg. Cooper springs on a "S"? 
There sould be 4 or more stock spring sets for the Mini. Reg. Mini & rag top, Auto & 5spd and so on does anyone know?
Thanks...........

Either the H-Sport comp bar or the WMS Preferred line. Both are black. The nod would go to the H-Sport as it has no clamps for lateral movement, just like the stock bar.
Hope that helps!

Where would you place the end link on the H-Sport bar if you wanted a street car that was more neutral, with just a little understeer? We have changed out the run-flats with a 215/45-17 Fuzion ZRi. I did some reading and this tires looked better than the Yok's AVS ES 100. ( I even put a set of 265/50-20 on my Nissan Frontier crew cab truck, they are far better than the Toyo's I had! )
Can you make a recommendation on where to place the end link on the bar?
Thanks for your time!

Sure, but you're going to use us to buy the bar now, right 
?
For what you are looking for - still a bit of understeer - I would use the softest setting. That's the farthest from the front of the car.
Hope that helps!
