COBB Tuning Rear Sway Bar Mount Reinforecement Kit - 2008-2021 Subaru WRX / STI
Sharper Turn-In, Less Body Roll — Starting With the Sway Bar
The Cobb Tuning Rear Sway Bar Mount Reinforecement Kit - 2008-2021 Subaru WRX / STI for the 2008-2021 Subaru WRX STI is a direct bolt-in replacement for the factory rear sway bar that reduces body roll and sharpens corner entry response. The stiffer bar keeps the chassis flatter through corners, transferring more of the suspension's travel budget to cornering grip rather than body roll.
Direct Bolt-In — No Modification to the Chassis
The Cobb sway bar bolts directly to the factory mounting points on the GR/VA STI — no cutting, no welding, no relocation of other components. Factory end links and bushings retain their position in the suspension geometry.
Part of the Cobb Suspension Lineup
The Cobb suspension components for the GR/VA STI are developed to work together — sway bars, end links, and chassis hardware are all sized and stiffened as a system. Running the Cobb front sway bar with the Cobb front end links, for example, gives you a matched stiffness and compliance profile rather than mixing sway bar rates with mismatched end link compliance.

Straight From Subispeed
The factory sway bar setup on the GR/VA STI leaves a meaningful amount of handling performance on the table — the stock bars are tuned for comfort over outright cornering. The Cobb sway bar directly reduces body roll and gives the chassis a sharper, more predictable response to corner entry inputs. If you're tracking a GR/VA STI or looking for more engagement on your favorite roads, this is the correct first suspension purchase.
