Anti-roll Bars

I read somewhere that going for hi-lo's, replacing the bushes and fitting a road going anti roll bar does wonders for the mini's handling and still keep a comfortable ride.
Does anyone know where I can get the anti-roll bars? Also, are there other names for the anti roll bars?
Cheers,

What the above will do will give you more versatility in suspension setup, and also better cornering...
The anti roll bars ( no other name for them ) are designed to prevent the roll of the car when cornering by providing a stiff linkage between the NS and OS wheels, weather they improve comfort is a matter of interpretation.
KAD are the daddies when it comes to antiroll bars...
and Minispares do something aswell

If you are cornering hard enough to get a rear wheel up then it's doing bugger all in the way of grip anyway.
Watch any front wheel drive race car corner, they all lift the inside rear.
A rear anti-roll bar increaces the weight transfer at the rear which reduces understeer.
