2019-2023 Hyundai Veloster Rear Swaybar

Excellent piece of kit!

Sorry, I couldn't avoid imitating David Hobbes there. But the base reality is that the Pierce 2019+ Veloster Rear Sway Bar is a winner! Starting with fit and finish, it is a gem compared to other aftermarket sway bars I have installed in the past [on previous cars}. The use of chromoly steel keeps the weight down while adding a marked improvement and increase in torsion values at the same dimensions. Machining is immaculate, and the welds are great, and the final powder coat finish is not only striking, but should protect the devise indefinitely.

I coupled the bar with beefy end links from a different source [begins with "E"] for an easy install that should only have taken an hour, including removing the rear wheels. {A hint? Don't assume the sway bar end will rotate past the lower control arms, it will NOT. Ha ha.}

The difference in handling was immediate and pronounced. Although the Gen2 Veloster turbo is significantly more 'planted' and handles better, the Pierce sway bar improves it yet again. I have read elsewhere that it is stiffer by a significant degree than the "N"-type bar, so adding it to my Turbo RSpec has been a major plus. Cornerner is markedly both flatter and faster, making good use of the the Pilot Sport 4 tires that come stock. I have to wonder what it will be like with the Sport 4S's I'll install next.
Long story short: well-made, immaculately finished, perfect fit, and impressively effective, the improvement with this alone has been amazing. Kudos, Jim!!
