Stiffer Sway Bars?

[scottdk]

Just want to provide and update -

I have just ordered the parts from my dealer! Dealer calls it the sway bar kit, which includes 2 new bushings, 2 new brackets and the sway bar.

Cost before tax is $154 for everything.

Who's excited to tinker with the Genesis?? <----------This guy is

I have an excess rear sway bar, never installed, which I will sell for $75, including domestic shipping. This sway bar's part number is 55510 3M150. It includes the mounting brackets and mounting bracket bushings. The diameter of this sway bar is 18.8 mm. If interested contact me directly at reykirkman@

Installed my new sway bar last night - I will start a new thread on the details of the process with a few pics this evening.

Cost - $142 with tax included. Dealer said they wanted to give me a discount, but didn't say why, so I didn't argue.

I'm very interested in how this worked out. In particular, how much did the body roll decrease? Was there a noticeable affect on ride quality? My Genesis understeers at the limit. Stiffer rear sway bars can lead to oversteer. Have you driven the car hard enough to see how the cars under/oversteer balance has been changed?

I haven't driven the car yet, so time will tell on any difference (if noticable). As you know the Genesis understeers at the limit and typically a stiffer rear anti-sway bar would decrease the understeer, but I doubt that this will lead to oversteer on the Genesis. It's no AMG. Stay tuned..........

I don't suppose anything in this thread would help my 2012 4.6 from bouncing 3 times after I drive out of my driveway with the smallest of drop? I'm always afraid that I'm going to bottom out when I hit the smallest of bumps/holes.

The link above takes me to a maxaudio.com website. I used the following site to order my strut tower bar : Hyundai Front Strut Bar, Sway Bar and other Ultra Racing Bars, pictures, descriptions, tests, movies. Also here is the link in a different format just in case the one above isn't working: http://eng.ultraracing.me/ultra-racing-shop/
I have been in contact with Ultra Racing USA and they are supposed to be adding the Sedan parts to their site in the near future.

Wow, that's actually my car on there when you click Genesis Sedan 2WD front strut bar lol. I told the guy I had to drill a hole for the bar to mount properly, but otherwise it was an easy install.

Yes, I had to drill the hole on the driver’s side also. I had to drill through 3 layers and had to get a longer bolt but I had it on hand. I was able to leave my engine cover on with 4.6L as the bar had clearance. They should be adding my pic to site if they haven’t already.
