Details
This is the 22mm Alta Adjustable Sway Bar. For comparisons between the 19mm and 22mm, see the effective rates below.
The stock sway bar on the MINI is pretty small and designed for the general public not for performance-minded drivers. Replace it with a 19mm OR 22mm ALTA Performance sway bar for better cornering, reduced body roll and greater control over your suspension. ALTA Performance™ Sway Bars are bigger in diameter and come with multiple end-link attachments, giving you more possible configurations than any other swaybar.
An important step to making your car turn better comes from replacement of the rear sway bar. By increasing the diameter and leverage, more cornering force is applied to the outside wheels. Thus forcing the car to "turn-in" better. Additionally, reducing sway also increases the contact patch of the rear tires.
The Alta Performance™ rear sway bar goes one step further than simply making the bar bigger. Although size is increased, Alta has added the flexibility of changing the bars leverage with 3 different end link attachment points. This allows the end user to custom tailor the way his or her car handles.
