When you are on the freeway and wiggle the steering wheel side to side does your car feel like the rear tires are under inflated?
Eibach 22mm Rear Sway Bar
In my opinion Eibach makes the best suspension products for people that want everything to feel like they installed a factory upgrade. The rear sway bar for the 2019-2021 Veloster turbo fits perfect to replace the 17mm rear sway bar that comes stock on the 2019-2023 Forte GT.

The install is not terrible but it helps to pay close attention to how you take the oem bar out since the new one will only go back in one way if you install the endlinks before hand. I did this to make sure they are tight. I would take the old bar out with the endlinks still attached and then fight with the nuts on the endlinks later. I found that hitting the endlink nuts with an impact to break them loose works good. I feel the factory endlinks are strong enough for this bar and will last longer than Whiteline. When you install the new sway bar you might need to jack the lower control arms up one at a time to get the bolts into the rear subframe for the sway bar brackets.
The 22mm bar seems like the perfect upgrade for this chassis, the stock 17mm was too small and you could feel the car leaning too much, basically like it was an effort to turn. The 22mm bar wakes things up and keeps things more lively. There is a very slight bit more impact felt from the rear suspension but it is almost imperceptible. Nobody would ever know but you. Sometimes a larger rear sway bar can be a handful in the winter or in the rain (the back end can get loose). I don't expect the rain to be an issue with this setup. I will have to wait for next winter to decide if I need to run the 17mm bar for snow however.
If you like a great handling car this should be first before lowering springs. One other big plus to the larger rear sway bar is traction. With the stock rear sway bar the car leans too much and the inside front tire breaks loose far too easy under acceleration. The larger rear bar keeps the chassis flat and allows more power to be delivered to the inside front tire before it starts to break loose.

I have not been on the highway yet, just the on and off ramps.
Also if the urethane is super cheap or has a creative eBay name then it’s most likely counterfeit.. here is my experience with an eBay urethane bump stop .....
