The Hotchkis 02-06 Mini Competition Rear Sway Bar is a high-performance suspension component designed to enhance handling and cornering capabilities for the Mini Cooper R53 model years 2002 through 2006. Constructed from 25.5mm tubular 4130 chrome moly steel, this sway bar offers a lightweight yet durable upgrade at only 5.5 pounds. It features three adjustable settings, allowing for a customizable balance: the softest for neutral handling, the middle for improved mid-corner speed without throttle feathering, and the stiffest for tight, slow corners that benefit from a rear-steer feel. The set includes polyurethane bushings, brackets, and 90-degree zerk fittings for easy lubrication, providing significant rate increases over stock—up to +383%—to optimize performance on the track and autocross courses.

Designed specifically for 2002-2006 Mini Cooper R53 models, this competition sway bar is recommended for serious performance use, including racing and autocross. It is a bolt-on upgrade that directly replaces the factory rear sway bar, offering improved stability and handling characteristics. Suitable for track enthusiasts and competitive drivers, the kit comes complete with all necessary components for installation. Its adjustable design allows users to tailor the handling to their specific driving style and course conditions, making it an ideal upgrade for those seeking enhanced cornering performance and vehicle control.

Overview

Hotchkis Sport Suspension 22810R 2002-2006 Mini Cooper R53 Competition Rear Sway Bar. The Competition Rear is a massive 25.5mm tubular 4130 chrome moly sway bar weighing in at only 5.5 pounds! Recommended for competition use only the Competition Rear has three adjustment positions with the softest setting being the more neutral balance. From there the middle setting will really aid the Minis medium to long mid-corner speed where there will not be any throttle feathering needed to turn the car. The stiffest setting is most beneficial through very slow tight corners where without the bar you'd find yourself on and off throttle several times. With the Competition Rear this type of corner should only be a one throttle application corner with a rear-steer feel. Although handling characteristics may vary depending on your set-up each position of the Competition Rear is very distinct and useful. Now you have an advantage at the track and auto-cross course! The set comes complete with polyurethane bushings bushing brackets and 90-degree zerk fittings for easy lubrication Rate increase over stock. Rear: +226% +294 +383%
