Sway bar

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Rear-...46286388QQrdZ1

Rear Sway Bar for Mini Cooper S. Tightens the back for handling. Keeps the car from swaying in the back.

Stay too long at the bar and you'll be swaying.


(Better brace yourself first so your body won't roll however. )

That seller is going to see lots of views for his item but no bids, and wonder why nobody wants to prevent the rear of their car from swaying all over the streets. :impatient

Maybe he should add the "girdle" option!

Maybe some one should be nice and inform the seller that they are an idiot so that they have a better chance of selling.

I thought I would be nice and tell someone that the 3 cylinder MCS header that they were selling was definately not for a MCS. They responded that it was. Go figure.

Or perhaps some sideskirts will finally put an end to the malicious gossip and bathroom graffiti about the naughty MINI with the swaying back.

The header that looks like a three cylinder header is for a classic mini
and could be for a classic Mini Cooper S.
Perhaps, you knew that it was for a classic mini and you were fishing for
this reply from someone with no sense on humor.

Looks like he's selling off a bunch of stuff.

Magnaflow exhaust $450.
Wilwood BBK $850.

Those prices are better, but the $200 for a used rear bar?
