Sharpen Corner Turn In On Your First Gen Focus
The factory rear sway bar on the first generation Focus was tuned for a soft, comfort first ride, which leaves a lot of body roll on the table once you start driving with intent. This Whiteline BFR62Z rear anti roll bar steps the bar diameter up to 22mm and adds two point adjustability, giving you a real gain in rear end control with the flexibility to dial in your preferred balance.
Key Features
- 22mm solid steel bar diameter for a meaningful increase over the factory bar
- Two point adjustability for tuning between comfortable street and firmer spirited driving
- Heavy duty blade style construction for durability and consistent performance
- Reduces rear body roll for flatter, more predictable cornering
- Works with factory style mounting points for a straightforward install
- BFR62Z is purpose built for the first generation Focus platform
