Great product, good price
Posted by Unknown on 11th Dec 2023
Have a 2013 veloster (southern california) I bought new 10 years ago, and just put this on. I’ve had a front strut bar that was a great additon I added last year and have been driving on too. The rear bar tightened the suspension up so it feels more responsive, safer, and helps put the car right where you want it. Some reviews say it feels like the car is on rails - and it actually does kind of give you that feeling, pretty incredible. It’s not going to take you to racecar handling, but it’s definitely a great addition and worth the $170-200 or whatever.
Shipping was fine, mininal protection with some padding on the ends and heavy cardboard - but it’s just a solid, powder coated bar, doesnt need much. Bolts, washers and locking nuts were in a ziploc.
Install was easy enough, put the car on jacks to take the weight off the suspension, put the bolts into the holes where the bottom of the springs sit. (Check some photos online) I had to rotate the springs around just to find some clearance so the bolts/washers would fit. No need to remove the shocks. Shove the bar up there and it lines up pretty well, just a little bit of wiggling and finessing jamming. Easy enough probably less than 30 min to put it on.

Torsion bar ftw!
Posted by John on 28th Jan 2023
This torsion bar is simply amazing. It completely transformed the way the veloster handles uneven suspension loads and cornering.
The well known back end twitch is completely fixed. When you hit a bump going around a corner the back end stays planted like it should. I can haul butt around corners with confidence because it feels like it's on rails now.
Wet handling improved a lot too. Much more confidence in heavy rain conditions.
Buy this, best bang for your buck.

For handling purposes this is the best torsion bar on the market! Worth every penny I will never buy a different brand. Thanks for the fast shipping and customer service.

Top of the list for improvements!
Posted by Corey on 15th Mar 2021
Product shipped next day, arrived in 4 days exactly as described. Installation was done in my driveway and was very easy. There are no instructions but they do have youtube videos if you question your abilities. Instant difference in handling on the initial test drive and well worth the money spent. +1

Make this your first upgrade!
Posted by Unknown on 11th Mar 2021
This does everything as advertised. The rear end of my VT is no longer trying to kick out on me when I hit a bump, enter a curve at speed, or on slick roads. My car's handling has drastically improved since installing. If you doubt how one pice of metal can make such a difference, don't. This torsion bar is the real deal!

Installed on a 2015 VT M/T with otherwise OEM suspension; took about 45 minutes including raising and supporting, and took a little finagling because I didn't bother taking the wheels off.
Once installed, took her for a quick drive along some of the problem spots where I've noticed the Hyundai "wigglebutt" most and -lo and behold- the problem is almost 100% fixed just by this one addition alone.
Bottom line: do this first - you'll be amazed.

Should be Std. Equipment
Posted by Houston L Werner on 9th Sep 2019
Feels like a new car, almost completely alleviated the loosey goosey rear end on my car. Should have bought sooner. The bump steer on icy roads was scary, can't wait to see the difference come winter.

Game changing performance
Posted by Richard V Childs on 16th Jul 2019
I liked my Veloster Turbo before installing this bar. After installation, I LOVE my Veloster Turbo. The roads here in Michigan SUCK, and the stock suspension could get downright scary. The nervousness of the rear suspension during spirited cornering on bumpy surfaces is now all but gone. The car is much more stable and planted. It now feels like it looks, aggressive like a true hot hatch. I recommend this product as a first mod priority to make your Veloster much more enjoyable to drive. Installation was a breeze. Pro-tip, install the two bolts on one side first, as loose as possible, only start the nuts a turn. When you get to the other side, the bolts won't be lined up, but if you left the first side loose enough, you can feed the bolts down at an angle and get them through the bar on the second side. Then just tighten everything slowly and evenly. Videos suggest taking the tires off, but I found it unnecessary, completing the entire job in my driveway (not on a hoist) in about 45 minutes including getting the car in the air on jack stands. I assume the slight misalignment in the bolt holes imparts a pre-tension on the bar once installed improving it's performance. Top notch product, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, almost to the point of being a necessity that should have been installed from the factory. A true game changer in improved ride and handling quality of my Veloster.
