I replaced a JBR rear sway bar with this unit and the construction of the part and stiffness is a night and day difference. No welds to rust or break like the JBR, powdercoat finish has held up a lot better over the year plus timeframe I’ve had it on as well. This bar at the ‘softer’ setting is still stiffer than the JBR at its ‘stiffest’ setting. I’ve had mine on the stiffer setting this whole time and the car actually feels twice as stiff as the other sway bar did. When comparing costs, I strongly suggest you take into account the stiffness measurements of both units and the parts included. Corksport including the billet brackets is a great feature and makes greasing a breeze.

Paired with the front sway bar and the adjustable front sway bar end links, my car now handles like a DREAM. Couldn’t ever imagine going back to a time where I did not have these sway bars installed. Solid construction, step by step instructions that make it simple even while combating the typical rusty undercarriage that comes along with a midwestern car. The adjustability is nice because it allows the effect to be more or less aggressive depending on your driving style and needs. This kit comes with all the hardware needed to install too, which is always a plus when you are trying to get something installed in time for a same day test drive!

Just installed both the front and rear sway bars yesterday in a couple of hours. They arrived on time and well packaged as usual, even with an extra little treat and some stickers! Installation was not as bad as I thought it would be. Everything came out and went back in really smoothly, although I think that mostly depends on how rusty your car is underneath. The sway bars themselves are really high quality and look incredible, especially once you get all the brackets and hardware attached to it. It’s a shame you can’t really see them once they’re installed! The cars waiting for first day of testing in spring but I have no doubt these are going to make a huge difference. These are an absolute must if you’re thinking about doing any racing or just want better handling for some fun spirited driving. I also like that I have some adjustments for the rear to balance out the over/steer in the turns.

Corksport was very helpful. I ordered this and informed them that I would be moving out of state and they were helpful enough to get this shipped to me and keep me updated the entire time through the receiving of the parts and shipping the sway bar link itself. The sway bar itself is great quality and sturdy enough to hold up. A great replacement for the rusted bushings and sway bar that's on my car currently.

So much better than stock happy I waited for it. Definitely worth the upgrade.

Great performance, but eats end links. I'm about to take this off my 2012 MS3 after about 20,000 miles because it has destroyed a second pair of end links. About 5-10k miles after installing this sway bar, I started to hear a clunk from the rear when going over angled bumps or turning sharply, anything that uses the sway bar. It got progressively louder. I replaced the worn end link, noise went away. Came back on the other side, replaced that, noise went away. 10k miles later, it's back again. I wish CorkSport sold beefier end links that could handle the sway bar, because turning those into a 10k mile consumable is not worth the minor handling upgrade for me personally.

I've had this sway bar on the stiffest setting for only 50 miles and I am impressed. Installed with a new pair of end links. The car is much more confident in cornering and this has got to be my second favorite(after rear motor mount Stage 11) and instantly noticeable install.

I bought this RSB for my 08 speed3 over a year ago. Install was a little longer because I had to cut the old sway links off but it wasn’t bad. I went straight to the stiffest setting and haven’t looked back! High speed cornering has vastly improved. The car feels like it’s on rails. This RSB coming with the CNC mounts makes it a no brainer over other options available out there.

I've been driving with this for about 2 weeks now on the "low" setting I guess you could call it, and this has definitely corrected the issue with understeer. I'm actually curious about trying the "high" setting just to see how it feels. As always CS provided absolutely beautiful craftsmanship. I mean the brackets alone are a true work of art.

drive with confidence. I wanted this for a while and betrayed CS for a different brand and it didn't work out too well and I suffered greatly. I have over 10 CS products so far and they haven't get me down.
