Thanks for the video, my plan is to install this bar on my Mini electric and some other goodie’s.

Rear sway, coilovers, adjustable control arms, front brake kit (willwood), full bolt ons /tune, GFB bov, fad diet (seats that don't get sat), sticky bois (pilot sport), water meth... Then a soccer mom decided to check on her kid while making a turn so I'll be missing this summer season... Saving the gas money I guess for seats, turbo, and a retune. 2013 mcs clubman. I don't feel complete while she's in the shop. 😩

I put Eibach sway bars on my Corolla. Set the rear to full stiff and the front to full soft. Really transformed the car to feel genuinely sporty. Sway bars are a great upgrade when setup properly.

Ok so you’re saying your legs aren’t touching the speaker in the first curve, that would mean less sideways force right ? So your driving slower hence less side force - right ?!

[@slickrick223]

Hey man what endlinks are you using for that bar? I have the same nm 22mm bar and nm rear endlinks. I’m getting squeaky noises in the rear suspension and the bushings are lubed. Also on H&R lowering springs

[@chrisbelgrade7902]

What setting did you use on the sway bar I know its adjustable

[@KevinonCars]

the stiffest setting :)

[@alecbradford3388]

whats the small looking screen on your dash?

[@silverf56]

that's a Head Up Display. Speed, Gear, RPM, Speed limit, navigation, music, etc. can be displayed there. It's only visible to the driver - you have to be directly in front of it to see it.

[@alecbradford3388]

@@silverf56 Thank you, gonna look more into this. How well does it work during the day? And which one is it?

[@silverf56]

@@alecbradford3388 it works perfectly during the day. You can change the brightness and position in the center infotainment. It's the factory HUD optioned through MINI.

No info on sway bar?

[@KevinonCars]

Thanks for catching that. I'll put the info in the description :)

[@theheroricky]

do you have creaks after installing the bar? Cause mine creak whenever the car is in stop-and-go situations

[@kevinglainez8151]

Then check your bushings you might be unlucky enough and they send a old unit with really old bushings to you and first try they torn up

[@silverf56]

I was contemplating the NM 25mm GT versus the 22mm. Still unsure of which route I wanna go. I just got a catless DP, intake, bootmod3 stage 2 93 oct., and NM lowering springs.

[@KevinonCars]

I've tried both the 25mm and 22mm. 25mm definitely feel more tail happy. 22mm on the stiff setting eliminates 80% of understeer but remains slightly understeery. I find the 22mm more confidence-inspiring but the 25mm should have a higher limit.

[@silverf56]

@@KevinonCars thanks for that info!

[@jeffersonrr]

The fact that the sway bar is filled or hollow makes no difference, you would prefer the hollow for being lighter tho

[@loooongstory]

Yes it does make a difference. A hollow sway bar would have a softer spring rate.

[@964cuplove]

@@loooongstorybut only very slightly cause the forces are mainly running on the outside of the crossection - right ? Also depends very much on the steel they use….

[@AIRCOOLEDLIFE]

Do you have an LSD on you car?

[@KevinonCars]

nope, just sway bars and stock suspension
