Does Clubman use same rear swaybar as MC?
Curious if I can install any of the after-market bars for 2nd-gen "short" MC's on my soon-to-arrive Clubbie - particularly this one:

What i have found is as follows
07-08 Coop uses 16mm bar for non sport suspension
07-08 Coop uses 17mm bar for sport suspension
07-08 Clubman uses 17mm bar for sport or non sport suspension.
Part number for the 17mm bar is the same for the coop and the clubman. So i would say you should be able to use the replacement bar.

It would seem not - all the sites have the *old* ones listed as to fit the R50 - R53 buils years. ( And the drop top )

Detailed Description
Now available for the 2007 MINI Cooper S Turbo! Increase the handling performance of your Mini by reducing sway and body roll.

Adjustability
The Madness rear adjustable swaybar features 3 hole adjustment to fine tune the MINI's handling for street or competition use, no need for a smaller bar for street use. Simply use the adjustment points to tune your swaybar for the handling you desire.NOTE: Swaybars do not increase ride stiffness or harshness.
Construction
The Madness bar features one piece forged construction, powdercoated for longevity and built to last the life of the car .Forged bar ends offer stronger and more direct power transfer of the swar bar energy to the wheels. Other manufactures use welded bar ends that while less costly to produce provide a point of failure over the life of the bar. Forged bar ends maintain a one piece design and maintain the steels grain structure and integrity. Notice how the factory bar uses the forging method for the same reasons. When purchasing a swaybar know it's construction method.
Kit comes complete with instructions, swaybar and polyurethane bushings. Shipping costs may be higher than estimated due to box dimensions and destination. This sway bar fits the new turbo MINI Cooper S

Also the following
R50, R53, R52 all use part number 33.55.6.754.819 in the Sport Suspension and the 33.55.6.754.818 in the non sport suspension.
The R55, R56 all use part number 33.55.6.754.819 in the Sport Suspension and the 33.55.6.754.818 in the non sport suspension.
The only difference between the part numbers is the diameter of the bar the 818 is 16mm and the 819 is 17mm.
So there should be no problem with the aftermarket bar working.
