ALTA 2002–2012 Mini Cooper/S/JCW (Incl. 2005–2012 Convertible) & 2009–2012 Clubman Rear Swaybar 22mm - Red

The ALTA 22mm Rear Swaybar in Red is a premium handling upgrade for R50/R52/R53/R55/R56 MINI Cooper models, significantly reducing body roll and improving cornering stability with its heavier 22mm hollow tubular construction. Precision-engineered from high-strength 4130 chromoly steel with red powder coating for corrosion resistance and aggressive styling, this swaybar features greaseable polyurethane bushings and adjustable end links (sold separately) for customizable stiffness. It transforms the MINI's playful chassis into a track-capable setup while maintaining daily drivability, delivering sharper turn-in and flatter cornering for autocross, road courses, or canyon carving.

Key Features

  • 22mm Hollow Tubular Design: Increases rear roll stiffness by 200% over stock for balanced handling.
  • 4130 Chromoly Steel: Lightweight yet ultra-strong for durability under high lateral loads.
  • Red Powdercoat Finish: Textured coating resists chips and rust for long-lasting aesthetics.
  • Greaseable Polyurethane Bushings: Provide smooth articulation and easy maintenance.
  • Direct Bolt-On Fit: Uses factory mounting points with no modifications required.
  • 5-Year Limited Warranty: Covers defects in materials and workmanship.
