Whiteline BKF001Z 24mm Front Sway Bar for 18-23 Kia Stinger/Genesis G70 AWD RWD

Vehicle Fitment

• 2018-2023 Kia Stinger (Base, Premium, GT-Line, GT, GT1, GT2, GTS - RWD & AWD, 2.0L Turbo I4 / 2.5L Turbo I4 / 3.3L Twin-Turbo V6)
• 2017-2023 Genesis G70 IK (2.0T, 3.3T - RWD & AWD, 2.0L Turbo I4 / 3.3L Twin-Turbo V6)

Fitment Notes

• Fits all trim levels of the Kia Stinger CK platform from 2018-2023, including the limited-production GTS (2019) and all special edition variants
• Genesis G70 IK platform launched globally in 2017; U.S. market sales began with the 2018 model year - confirm your specific model year before ordering
• The 2.5L Turbo I4 engine was introduced in the Kia Stinger for the 2022 model year, replacing the 2.0L Turbo I4 as the base engine - this sway bar fits all three engine variants across all years
• Wheel alignment is not required after installation of this sway bar
• Kia Stinger production ended in April 2023; no further model years were produced

Features

• 24mm diameter heavy duty blade design - significantly larger than the factory sway bar, delivering substantially higher torsional resistance and reduced body roll during cornering
• 2-point adjustable design allows the driver to fine-tune front roll stiffness to suit driving preference or track conditions without replacing the bar
• Forged ends ensure maximum strength and performance at the sway bar link mounting point, resisting bending and fatigue under sustained performance loads
• DIY lateral locks prevent the sway bar from shifting or walking sideways under high lateral (cornering) loads, maintaining consistent geometry
• Supplied with synthetic elastomer mounting bushings featuring internal bore knurling and grease retention lips for optimum lubrication, performance, and longevity
• Internal grease reservoirs within the bushings provide continuous self-lubrication to eliminate bushing squeak and reduce wear over the bar's service life
• Protective powder coating finish is substantially harder and more corrosion-resistant than conventional paint, ensuring long-term durability in all climates
• Manufactured from high-quality solid spring steel - performs more effectively as a spring element than hollow or non-spring steel bar construction
• Supplied with extreme pressure molybdenum disulphide (LM) grease for extended bushing service life
• Install guide included - detailed step-by-step instructions provided for straightforward DIY installation in approximately 1.5 hours

Product Description

The Whiteline BKF001Z is a 24mm 2-Point Adjustable Front Sway Bar engineered specifically for the Kia Stinger CK (2018-2023) and Genesis G70 IK (2017-2023) - two performance sedans that share a common rear-wheel-drive platform and front suspension architecture. Both vehicles are known for their sport-tuned dynamics, and the BKF001Z is designed to push that handling capability further by replacing the factory front anti-roll bar with a significantly larger and stiffer unit. The factory sway bar, while functional for everyday driving, allows a degree of body roll that limits the effectiveness of the tires during cornering and reduces driver confidence at the limit. By upgrading to the 24mm Whiteline unit, lateral loads are distributed more evenly across both front tires during cornering, resulting in flatter body posture, improved front grip, and a noticeably sharper, more connected steering response.

Whiteline's 2-point adjustable design gives drivers the ability to tune the front roll stiffness without removing and replacing the bar - simply move the end link mount to the inner or outer hole to increase or soften the bar's rate. This adjustability is especially valuable for enthusiasts who use their Stinger or G70 on both the street and the track, as it allows quick rebalancing of the front-to-rear handling bias to suit conditions. The bar is manufactured from high-quality solid spring steel and features forged ends that resist bending and fatigue at the sway bar link attachment points - the highest-stress area of any anti-roll bar installation. Protective powder coating shields the bar from road salt, moisture, and abrasion, while the included synthetic elastomer mounting bushings maintain consistent bar position under load without introducing unwanted noise into the cabin.

Installation is a bolt-on process using the vehicle's factory mounting points - no cutting, drilling, or modification is required. The included Whiteline installation guide walks through each step clearly, and most installations are completed in approximately 1.5 hours with basic hand tools. Unlike some suspension upgrades, a wheel alignment is not required after fitting this sway bar. For owners looking for a complete front and rear anti-roll bar upgrade, the BKF001Z pairs directly with the BKR001Z rear sway bar as part of the BKK001 vehicle kit, offering a fully balanced handling upgrade from a single manufacturer designed specifically for the Stinger and G70 platform.
