SMY Stealth Swaybar Bushings w/ Bracket 22mm 2015-2026 WRX / 2015-2021 STI | Rear 22mm Diameter | Suspension Upgrade
Overview
The SMY Stealth Swaybar Bushings with Bracket for 22mm rear sway bars are designed to replace the soft, factory bushings and brackets on Subaru WRX and WRX STI models from 2015 to 2026. This upgrade kit is aimed at enthusiasts seeking to eliminate unwanted slop in the rear suspension, resulting in improved chassis response and reduced body roll. Whether you are a track-focused driver or simply want a more precise and confident daily driving experience, these bushings provide a direct and durable solution to enhance your vehicle's handling characteristics.
Engineered with precision, the SMY kit features aluminum brackets with built-in grease ports and caps, allowing for easy maintenance and long-lasting performance. The stealth black finish complements the OEM aesthetic while offering superior rigidity compared to the stock rubber components. This design philosophy focuses on durability and functional improvements without compromising fitment or requiring extensive modifications.
For Subaru owners, especially those with WRX and WRX STI models, upgrading rear sway bar bushings is a critical step toward sharpening cornering precision and improving overall suspension feedback. The 22mm diameter bushings lock down the sway bar effectively, translating to tighter, more predictable handling and a more connected driving experience. This kit also serves as a smart upgrade for those who have previously installed aftermarket sway bars but retained the OEM brackets, which require removal for greasing and lack the robustness of the SMY solution.
