Drivers familiar with chassis tuning on modern MINI platforms know that a sway bar upgrade is one of the most effective ways to sharpen handling, and the NM Engineering GT Sway Bar delivers exactly that. Designed specifically for the MINI F55, F56, and F57 chassis, this bar significantly reduces body roll while improving steering response, balance, and overall driver confidence.
On these MINIs, the GT Sway Bar enhances cornering stability in a way that rivals — and in some cases exceeds — the perceived benefit of lowering springs or coilovers alone. The result is a more planted feel through corners, improved rotation, and a chassis that remains predictable and composed under aggressive driving conditions.
Engineered to work seamlessly with the factory suspension geometry, the NM Engineering GT Sway Bar provides a clear performance advantage for spirited street driving, canyon roads, and occasional track use — all without compromising daily drivability.
