Installed a rear sway bar on the F56 MINI yesterday. Having access to a lift made things so much easier. I had to lower the rear subframe to snake the old bar out and new one in, but it was fairly straightforward. It definitely works as advertised, the car rotates through the corners a lot better now, even though its on the softest setting.    And I'm just no noticing the missing bolt on the bumper. I wonder if it never made it on at the factory because the rear bumper has never been off the car.

Started transferring over all the speed parts from my old MINI to my new JCW  Intake and JB+ tuner  Lowering springs and rear sway bar (stayed afterhours with my buddy to knock this out)       https://i.imgur.com/IzGovfu.mp4  Took a little over 2.5 hours to do and drat does MINI love them some Torx and Etorx.

Forever and always I am trying to decide if I am really going to be taking the wheels on and off frequently enough to make a stud conversion worthwhile. I had it all set to go, but I recently found out I'm going to have twins (in addition to my current child) this year and I really don't expect to be able to do many track days if at all. Also yes, I just got a brand new 2dr tiny car fully knowing that I was about to suddenly have 3 kids. I am that idiot.

heffray posted:Fairly simple project: even after bumping up to 6 piston calipers (Bremo/GM parts bin upgrade), track pad lifetime is looking worrisome. I haven't had any fade issues, but it seems likely that lower temperatures would help things last longer. I'd previously tried Porsche GT3 control arm scoops, but they didn't catch much airflow and also didn't quite clear the tie rods. Does anyone sell a proper backing plate you can attach a duct hose to? Years ago when I was tracking my SRT8 magnum I had a set and they kept things super cool. They also never gave me any issues off the track so if you can get a hold of a set it would probably fully solve your pad temp issue
