Got a KAD unit myself - purchased off minispares or minisport.co.uk - great quality piece of bit , easy to install. Haven't used it as the car is off the road but I hear good things. There is a push to leave these disconnected in normal road driving As they are more effective than you think and will leave you unstuck if pushed and the weights shifts dramatically

I had KAD unit fitted in my race mini, not enough clearance if you are running LS off set wheels, tyre will rub against cap screws which secures arm to bar. You will need to install longer studs and spacer.

ok so 13 x 6 inch rims with minifins drums should be fine? i hae heard KAD are hard to beat.

Yes they should be fine, if you run into trouble you have the option of changing cap screw for either counter sunk or mushroom head fasteners.

MR2 rear swaybar on my van
Land Rover Discovery rear swaybar on my deluxe (was a matter of instant wheel lift till I thin'd it with the 9 inch. Was the best swaybar as I tuned it to my liking and it cost me like 19 bucks at the wreckers)

If your a spanner man not a fabricator go the minisport version.

I would look at the weight of each bar available and pick the lightest...when the rear wheels are off the ground (in pairs or singly) you don't want a lot of extra weight crunching down on your suspension...
