AMAZING, that's the only way to discribe it. :smile: I drove the car around a bend near my place, somewhere I love to go and the car's response was very different. For starters the car had WAAAY more grip around the corner could keep the power down much longer. Pre-swaybar the car would understeer quite significantly.
Installation was very straight forward, no surprises.
:smile: Can't wait until the track on Friday the 18th. :smile:

>>Which swaybar.Did you install it yourself,how much time?
It's the madness sway bar that I got from MINI Cooper Motorsports. I followed the how-to and was done in 2 hours. If I did it again it would take 1.5 hours. It's really easy just a little time consuming. The biggest pain was getting the car jacked up and on jack stands, seriously. With a proper lift like a dealer and a little gusto you could have the job done in around an hour.
If anyone in Toronto is thinking of doing this I'm willing to help out if you've got the tools and space.
Cheers,
Paul
