    Just wanted to let anyone that is interested in an upgraded rear sway bar for our Niro EV. I measured the stock rear sway bar and it is 15mm diameter. So any of these would be much stiffer.

    I got a used Veloster N rear sway bar (Pierce motorsport) from a friend and it fits on the Niro! The car definitely feels more stable in the curves. 20221118_170254.jpg 20221118_174101.jpg

    That sound really cool. The back end on the Niro EV 2020 is all over the place. Does it help at all with speed bumps where the back end likes to bounce a little to much or just for keeping the car from leaning in turns? Easy to replace

    I don't think it helps with speed bumps, but definitely noticeable when you are taking the fwy on ramps that are curved, it feels more stable than before. Less understeer.

    Did it simply bolt into place using the Veloster U brackets & bushings?

    Yes just remove the old one and bolt in the new one, reuse all bolts.
