H&R Sway Bar Kit
Just arrived, ordered 4 days ago from Germany!!! Through Tunershop.com
Kit # 33803-2
27mm Solid front bar, 2 way adjustable
25mm Solid rear bar, 2 way adjustable.
Rear sway bar installed by me, but I had the dealer install the front one!!!
Heres a shout out to Mini of Valencia!!! No attitude about modding.
They gave me way, way better price than any indie shop.
They are open to doing more of these, there were absolutely no hiccups during install, except for the tech telling me that
these end links won't last long!!!
I knew that!! Moog End Links on the way:

Handling felt so much better, will run it harder this weekend, after, I install the new links!!
Springs next week.
Moog stabilizer links:
Wheel gap is gone!!

Have had the rear 23mm for a few months, at highest setting, no issues.
Composite, not plastic.

Of course once you start down the road of replacing flimsy parts, you might have only a 50% OEM car.

If I need new ones, they take 10 minutes to replace.
But you're allergic to work, right!!!

Wow, a 25mm solid RSB and a solid 27mm FSB, and with springs too!
This car will corning like it is on rails.
And, if the Gen III is like my Gen II, the dreaded understeer that people think will come on with the larger FSB will not happen. The car should be pretty neutral and, with that large RSB, possibly a bit on the oversteer side.
I am very interested in hearing what the OP thinks of the ride. Mine got stiffer just with the upgraded bars alone; without upgraded the springs.
As for replacing the end links, I had to replace mine. The OEM end links clunked like crazy with the stiffer bars. I have also heard of the OEM ones bending with bigger sway bars. The MINI ones aren't the best, at least for the Gen IIs.

Meanwhile, I used Moog greasable links on my R56 ,
I have these to install for my F56 at $15 a piece from Rock Auto, well worth it:

Yes, on the track, my car does tend towards a slight understeer. But I would not say that oversteer is nonexistent. I found that the car will still oversteer in the right (or is it "wrong"?) circumstance. It has happened to me when I have trail-braked deep into a corner and then released the brake too abruptly. On the other hand, the car is very stable with an abrupt off-throttle in the middle of a full throttle curve, which is a very good thing in my mind.
I am looking forward to hearing what your impressions are when you get these installed.
