Look under your MINI Cooper. Go ahead, we’ll wait….See that little sway bar down there? Replace it with an ALTAPerformance sway bar and we promise better cornering, reduced body roll and greater control over your suspension. ALTA Performance™Sway Bars are bigger in diameter and come with multiple end-linkattachments, giving you five possible configurations
The key to making your car turn better comes fromreplacement of the rear sway bar. By increasing the diameter andleverage, more cornering force is applied to the outside wheels. Thusforcing the car to "turn-in" better. Additionally reducing sway alsoincreases the contact patch of the rear tires.
The Alta Performance™ rear sway bar goes one stepfurther than simply making the bar bigger. Although size isincreased, Alta has added the flexibility of changing the bars leveragewith 3 different end link attachment points. This allows the enduser to custom tailor the way his or her car handles.
The hard core street and track enthusiast will demand a 22mm upgrade to maximize cornering in all situations. If the 22mm bar is a bit extreme, check out the 19mm swaybar .
The ALTA performance Mini Cooper and Cooper S rear sway bar is agreat upgrade for your Mini. With the adjustability of our bar, and thesizes we offer them in, anyone can find the perfect match for theirdriving style. Below you will find a comparison of our swaybars vs. theOEM part.
