Said this before but your videos are brilliant. The production quality paired with the knowledge/advice is unrivalled in the mini world.

I clicked like before I watched it as all your videos are awesome and I knew this would be also.

I finally installed these KAD sway bar because of your video. Incredible handling. Thank you !!!

I've had this on my Mini for years now. Next to the KAD big brake kit, it's one of the best modifications I've ever done to the Mini.

Third time I've watched this and am still impressed. I'll probably be contacting KAD to order one. I purchased the quick shift you showed, installed it, and was truly amazed at the improvement, thanks to you. Your videos are the best!

This has been added to my shopping list for my trip to the UK in June. Loved the video, especially with the longer format. Can't wait for the next one.

Thanks for another great video. A really nice demonstration of what the ARB does and how it works. Step by step install was fantastic. I bought one solely based on your vid. I don't think I would have bothered to put one on without the detailed explanation, before and after drive, and commentary. Too much of a race thing I thought. I definitely notice less roll, nose dive, and understeer in the turns. It's not crazy, but just sweetens the cornering up a bit. Keep the great content coming!

Thank you for another great video, I’m in the midst of rebuilding a 94 Mini Works Group A Rally Car, with just 2000 miles on the clock, definitely going to fit the anti roll bar to the car to improve the handling. Fantastic video as always.. keep up the good work.

After curiosity I went to check where Stevestonmotorco business is located and to my surprise it is located near several "junkyards" for striping old cars and sell their parts and their metal. Odly enough the proposition here is to restore these beautifull cars. And what a job they do. Talented and professional service with some great videos to help spice things up. I wish the Mini scene around here in Portugal was anywhere near what you guys make of it. I would then seriously consider investing in one of these little cars just for the fun of it. They must be loads of fun to drive (specially considering the new wave of "anemic" full EV cars that more and more are being forced to the masses). No ECUs, air/fuel induction, mechanical distributor, screw/tappet valve adjustments, 3 pedals, 4 gears only, no power steering... They don´t make them like these anymore, for sure! Seing you drive that car made me feel I was actually enjoying driving one of them. Appreciate the interesting videos on these machines. 👍

Super content and super explanation as always Phillip. Love this channel

I also clicked LIKE before I was finished watching it, yet after seeing the whole thing I have to say by FAR this has been YOUR BEST instructional video of all!!!, you hit points for every nut, washer, screw, tight, loosen, I mean shit!!, everyone of us non mechanic idiots following you can do this!!!, you left NOTHING to chance or doubt!, keep it up Phil!. Yes I own a Mini, yes I follow a couple of guys doing stuff on cars, and you my friend just put all of them to shame!!, FLAWLESS is the word to describe this video!!, of THANK YOU!!, I was thinking about adding this feature pro's and cons and even that is clear now. Now I gotta hit your website and send you a private email about a little issue I have LOL

This was the best mod I had on my classic mini. Lift off oversteer was hilarious and easy to control :D

Excellent video. Very informative and still fun.

Another item to add to the list of car purchases, love the video great as always!!!

Great video....a comprehensive and honest approach as always...well done.

The Stevestonmotorco team put on of these on my mini. Handles extremely well and well balanced. As Phil was saying I like the way it takes away the under steer a lot and when it does start to oversteer its very easy to correct on power and get neutral. I really like what it added.

That min smile 😃 is always there

Another KAD product I’ll need to buy 😅 thanks for another awesome video!

Enjoyed the before and after, I think I should try and video and get that cornering angle of my Mini. I think every other type of car I've had does have anti roll bars.

Great video! 👊

I am going to add the bar to my 1986 Mini which has a 1275 A+ motor. Need more grip. Thank you for the excellent video. Had no idea it would make such a difference. Need a shop like yours in Florida !

Hi Philip, great video and how to install. You could definetly see the difference in the way the mini behaved. Has certainly made me think that it could be one of my next mods???

You mentioned the steering rack. I was under the impression an aftermarket quick-ratio was installed in the car. Also... lot's of chuckles about the right turn signal... ;)

sick video, definitely made up my mind to get a roll bar on my mini even tho its not a "classic" mini

excellent video

Nice video! Regards from chile...atte. a mini fan!

Many years ago I had an old Volvo where I learned the difference of adding sway bars. That car needed both front and rear. The difference is amazing and was significant for each change. I assume based on your comments that it's really only needed on the rear? I do see a front bar available too. Also, 5/8 seems good but 'more is better' makes me wonder about the 3/4. Definitely on my shopping list now. Thanks again for another great vid.

Great video! As usual :-) Good to have a scientific explanation 😁 with graphics of how it works and how it’s installed. How about a front anti-roll bar? Does it make sense on a street/track day Mini?

Love your videos, more like this please! Don’t live that far from KAD, got their short shifter because of your other video.

Id like to see a Steering rack install video

Great video as usually 👌🏻👏🏻. A dumb question what do you use to raise up the handle wheel ?

Good video explaining the use, fitting of a rear sway bar. Like the front air dam, where did you get it?

Really great video! Thanks you! Do you what kind of side mirrors this Mini has?

Way back when, I rallied a 1330 on tarmac (lsd, splits, s/c dropgears etc) with no anti-roll bar and loved the way the rear would hang out on fast corners, and understeer was only on too much throttle. What effect would a rear arb have had, especially at high speed on bumpy roads?

On plastic bushings, I would suggest a silicone lube like super lube. Some greases can really turn plastics into mush, over time.

Love the vids! btw, are the tires 12"?

I understand it as the rear is making a greater contribution to the overall roll stiffness, so you lose grip at the rear but you gain more at the front as the back with it's roll centre at ground level has a greater influence on roll. I've used the progressive rear hydro bumpstops to achieve the same thing, it would be interesting to see a comparison as theoretically the bumpstops won't be stealing grip from the inside rear tyre on cornering. I think the real problem is the mini's rear roll centre height and skewed roll, I managed to get my rear roll centre higher and it's beautiful to drive...

Phil my mini still stalls out though after hard 360 cornering when I stop. I think I may have to do a tank/line replacement etc when I am nest up. Wish it could be sooner. You guys take care and great video.

Now I want to definitely install anti roll bars. Thanks for making this video. One question. What 10" wheels and arches do you usually use? I would like to replace 6x13"ET21 for 10" wheels do get better driveability.

Love your work... Have you fitted a rear rollbar to a van/countryman I'm not sure if the rear subframe / fuel tank would get in the way?

this is great, could you do a vid with the KAD rear disks or is it the same process?

Since you’re talking about rear suspension, what do you think about replacing the rear subframe with KADs rear beam axle?

You don't have to use the same hole on both sides. You can fine tune to your liking by using different holes on either side.

Fantastic Tech Tip vid, this is Steveston Motor Co back to its best. Love this style of vid, compared to your plug our product vids. Phil is excellent at explaining in simple terms, how it works, how it benefits the mini and you, how you fit it and how to adjust it, I have learnt so much from you guys. The cinematography is also spot on. Thank you guys 👍🏻

Another winner, Phil. Thanks for sharing. Does the car you were driving have a short shifter? It looked like you changed gears effortlessly. I have a 5 speed with a lot of travel and effort when changing gears. Is it possible to install a short shifter on a 5 speed trans?

Will any alignment shop know how to do a Mini? I’m in the mid west. Guess I need to do some research. Great video Phil.

Really nice and professional explained but even if the effects of arb is totally correct the physics behind are different. It doesn’t lift the inner wheel. Furthermore it applies additional spring stiffness to the outer and due that it applies more load to it and changes the contribution between the axles. That doesn’t mean that the arb axles grip is reduced by definition. Only if it reaches its limit of load/ side force capabilities it starts sliding. Main point is that the stress of the outer front is reduced and the contribution between front and rear is more even and therefore the participation of the rear axle on cornering is increased.

Can you weld the brackets onto the rear subframe instead of using bolts? Or could that warp the plate or subframe if done incorrectly

Have you fitted the KAD bar to an Estate or van? Curious to know how it fits in reference to the under floor fuel tank. Been thinking of fitting one to my Cafe Racer Traveller. Great video by the way .... plenty of info and detail as you always do in you videos.

Hey! Does this setup sound about right? 1 degree negative camber 2mm toe-out 4 degrees Caster Would appreciate some advice 🙂

Hi! I have a Rover Cooper 1991, I live in Italy . Do you think that anti roll - bar can be used on a completly stock car?

Another video!

Are that group 5 arches? I restore a MPI and want to drive it with 7x10 Mambas so the group 2 arches are to small, cause of the disc brakes. I think the group 5 could fit well, but I don´t have good pictures of those.

Wow! Stop teasing me! :D

Do you still reccomend this if you have a full multipoint bolt in cage? I also have red dots all round and protech shocks

What seat belts/harness do you have installed in this car?

Is there a roll bar for the pick up?

Now put one on the front and go even faster, great video as always

👍👍👍

anyone recommend the front anti roll bar? as well as the rear

Pretty inexpensive upgrade and a great vid.

You missed the Canadian Geese. No one would miss two. 25:40

Hi Steve, Is the black Mini, the one that refers to KAD anti-roll bar article has by any chance a NIKKI carburettor- if so it is a Mini that my husband sent to his brother in Toronto. Best regards. J.A. Denmark

Do they work with wet suspension?

Erm, is it just me? If you mounted the brackets upside down the links would act even more in a vertical position. I understand that such there might be interference with the exhaust.

I have a 1967 998 cooper with hydro supp.Whats your take on adding these rollbars?

Really cool mod for the car, think it is not allowed in Switzerland... Sad :'(

aaaaaand now I need to buy a Mini...

Does it work with the KAD rear disc brake conversion kit?

Can anyone Tell me what seats are in this car? I really like them

Great video, but… I disagree with your last statement. Do NOT (if you never did before) have a drive in a mini, especially a well sorted one. Because it will not be your last one. And you will become a addict, a maniac (or is it miniac?) And before you know it, you are trying to sell your own body parts… for body parts. ;-)

I need that steering wheel it looks great !? 👍

Yeah the quality of your series is preventing a lot of mini suppliers and shops from thinking they’ll be competitive with their own.

What would you do on a hydrolastic car?

What about front anti-roll bars?

What’s your suspension setup it’ss Francis with the blue 89 rover

Why do your suspension cones look stainless ? what shocks are those ?

wow

That swaybar IS binding. It’s mounts are either too tight or it’s not square.

What tq do you tq your lug nuts to? Not asking what you think I should tq them to.

I would luv a classic Mini but here in Australia they are now going for stupid money. A clean and sorted one is unobtanium coin. A stock 967 Morris Cooper S starts at $40,000 USD.

Does anyone know what type of wheel arches this mini have?

Interesting... So why is roll angle the big baddy? Curing understeer by reducing grip at the rear... hmmm. Why not increase front end grip? Front toe out... why? Do you have a negative scrub radius? Anti-roll bar, or sway bar... can’t be both, can it? “This left-hander”, turns right , doh!
