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.
