The Hotchkis MINI 'Competition' rear anti roll bar is a massive 25.5mm, tubular, 4130 chrome moly unit weighing just 5.5 pounds! It features three adjustment positions, with the softest setting being ideal for a more neutral handling balance. From there, the middle setting will really aid the MINI's medium to long mid-corner speed where there will not be any throttle feathering needed to turn the car. The stiffest roll bar setting is most beneficial for very slow, tight corners where without the bar you'd find yourself on and off throttle several times. With the Hotchkis 'Competition' rear anti roll bar, the MINI's balance is transformed to oversteer, greatly aiding turn-in and enabling drivers to nail apexes with ease.
Although the exact handling characteristics of your MINI may vary depending on your individual suspension set-up, each position of the Hotchkis 'Competition' rear anti-roll bar is distinctive and useful, offering a real dynamic advantage at any circuit or and auto-cross course! The Hotchkis 'Competition' rear anti-roll bar set comes supplied from 1320 complete with polyurethane bushings, bushing brackets and 90-degree grease nipple fittings for easy lubrication.
