Hotchkis 22810R Competition Rear Sway Bar Fits Mini Cooper R53

The Hotchkis 22810R Competition Rear Sway Bar is designed for competition-focused handling upgrades on 2002–2006 Mini Cooper R53 models. This rear bar uses a tubular 4130 chrome-moly construction to provide increased roll control while maintaining a lightweight design. It is intended for track and autocross applications, where suspension balance and cornering response are important considerations. Fitment may vary with the vehicle setup and other suspension modifications.
The bar includes three adjustment positions, allowing the handling balance to be tailored to different driving conditions. The softest setting provides a more neutral balance, while the middle setting can help maintain mid- to high-speed cornering momentum with reduced throttle correction. The stiffest position is suited to tight, slow corners and can provide a more pronounced rear-steer feel. Each adjustment position offers a distinct change in rear roll resistance, allowing drivers to select a setting that complements their setup.
Installation hardware is included for a complete suspension upgrade. The kit comes with polyurethane bushings, bushing brackets, and 90-degree grease fittings to simplify lubrication and service. With multiple adjustment positions and a substantial increase in rear roll stiffness over the original configuration, the Hotchkis 22810R provides a practical way to tune handling characteristics for competition use.
