Its precise CAD-designed bends and mounting points guarantee a perfect fit and optimal performance. The 16mm diameter strikes an excellent balance between stiffness and ride comfort, making it suitable for a variety of driving styles.

Performance & Sound

By upgrading to the Cusco 16mm Rear Sway Bar, you'll notice a more responsive and confident handling feel. The increased stiffness reduces body roll, allowing for sharper turn-in and improved cornering grip.
