If ever you think you need to fit a rear sway bar to your mini, don't.... Just fit a pair of those old, sagged rubber springs from the front. They will increase the rear spring rate and effective roll stiffness at the rear.

Probably won't be much good, but if it is and reduces understeer, you could market crap old rubber cones as the latest speed product. Even paint em red!

Putting competition hydro rear bumpstops on the rear (yes they will fit dry cars too if the brake pipe is moved) has a similar effect by raising roll stiffness when cornering. They are Aeon springs. :wink:
