Is it worth spending 150 bucks on a (EDIT) SWAY BAR? Whats it like to install one? Does any one have pictues?

 

There is really no such thing to be quite technical about it. There are not struts in the rear of a Mini.
The other point is that this so called strut bar mounts no where near any part of the rear suspension. So, if you need a mini clothes hanger bar, then maybe it's a good idea.

 

After tearing apart the interior of my MINI, I realized the location the "rear stress bar" mounts is not anywhere near structural, it just holds the rear seat-backs, and is flimsily spot-welded to some extra sheetmetal, not structural at all.

 

Yes do not waste your $$$.

I like polished bars mostly for the bling factor. I got a front and rear set from Mini Mania. The front bar is ok although the flange is a little thin so i remade and rewelded them at work to make my own version of M7's with scrap aluminum at my shop.

The rear bar I believe is Pilo racing.Other than seeing a nice shiny bar it's relative useless. It mounts to where the seats brackets are so its not very effective. Also what I found to be a pain in the *** was they redesigned the hook that clips the rear seta in place. Of course now they sit up about 2 inches. I would really not recommend ewasting cash on this.

i like my rear strut bar. i dont have back seats so it breaks up the emptyness.

it does nothing but looks cool.

 

So then what is it that make such a HUGE difference. I have heared that there is something...

 

SORRY I guess I ment sway bar. For the rear that is.

 

what say bar besides stock is $50?

its quite a job to install one, you have to drop the rear subframe.

 

Sorry, edited again. I AGAIN guess I ment 150 :impatient
