FK8 Type R Rear Balance Tuning
The FK8 Type R is a remarkably capable FWD performance car whose suspension responds to careful setup. On the FWD platform, rear sway bar stiffness is a primary tool for adjusting the understeer/oversteer balance — stiffer rear relative to front reduces understeer on corner entry. The 22mm BHR97Z provides a meaningful step-up from the factory bar with three positions to tune precisely.

Three Positions for Conditions
Middle position provides a balanced improvement for most driving conditions. Outer position reduces understeer more aggressively for circuit driving. Inner position is for conditions where the factory-like balance is preferred.

Pair With the Front Bar Kit
The BHK017 kit provides a matched 27mm front / 22mm rear combination for the FK8. If purchasing the rear bar separately, ensure the front bar is also appropriately upgraded for balanced result.

The RallySport Take

Precision rear anti-roll tuning hardware for the FK8 Type R. Installation is a straightforward bar swap — remove the OEM bar, install the Whiteline unit with the provided polyurethane mount bushings, connect the endlinks.
