How To Install CorkSport's Front Strut Tower Bar In Your Mazda3 Or Mazda6

It will take you between 15-45 minutes to install your front strut bar. Follow our easy installation instructions to enhance your handling.

I ordered this for cosmetic purposes and to my suprize there is a noticeable difference in the steering feel.
With out a doubt it feels more stable under hard cornering. It instantly gave me more confidence I wouldnt understeer And the best part was that it didn't make everything so stiff the car just feels flat and numb. I love it lol 10/10

Got the tower brace about a two weeks ago and I love it. Very easy to install, I suggest watching the install video on youtube provided by CorkSport. Noticed a huge difference in my daily drive, but I do live in an area with a lot of small curvy roads so your results may vary. Overall, 10/10. Great job on this one guys.

Great value for the price. Painted the blue brackets red to match the rest of my engine bay. Looks fantastic. Tested it out by doubling the suggested speed on a couple turns. Felt like it helped but it could be placebo effect.

Wildly easy install - took longer to get it unpacked than to gather wrenches and install. Noticeable positive difference in handling (2016 Mz3sGT) - makes the steering even more precise and planted and cornering hard feels more controlled and even more fun than before. I can't believe this isn't stock gear on the s trim level. Thanks CS!

The bar performs as advertised and installed simply enough. It is designed with the hex nuts facing the firewall, which means you will need a short socket to squeeze in to tighten the hardware. Would be better to have the allen bolts facing the firewall in my opinion. The CS logo is also crooked on the bar, which bugs me a little each time I pop the hood.

Gives the car a much nicer feel on the onramps/twisties and makes a very noticeable improvement at the autocross track.

15 minute install - and that counts the 10 minutes looking for the right socket adaptor.

Great product at a great price. Going to do the rear anti-sway bar before next season.
John Waters 08/31/2016, 07:30 PM
Super easy to install and noticeable difference . . . I immediately took vehicle to known areas I drive and have noticed bad roll at high speeds in the past. Can totally take those same turns at higher speeds than before with real improvement on roll.



Cork only getting a 4 star because when I called to ask if I could have parts powder coated I was told no, but noticed another reviewer mention that this service was offered to him :(
Tim O'C 06/11/2016, 12:18 PM
Feels much more planted and flat around corners and cloverleaf on and off ramps can take them much more comfortably and while taking turns, had to shave down a bit to fit my 3, easy fix though.
Liam JPR 06/08/2016, 11:19 AM
Looks great and easy to install. No noticeable handling improvements however.
TW 02/09/2016, 12:05 PM
Super Easy install, noticed the difference right away, front end felt very planted to the pavement

I just hit 100k on my '14 Mazda 6 so I decided it is time to start with some mods (CPO warranty expired lol). The strut tower bar shocked the hell out of me. If I would have known that the handling would have been this improved I would have bought it when I bought the car. Great place to start for the price. Keep up the awesome work CorkSport!

Just received and installed my strutbar definitely makes a difference in handling. Turning is greatly improved these cars do have athletic suspensions this only makes it better. This should be your first buy in suspension upgrades quality piece doesn't hurt the under hood look either.
Charles Murphy
Comment
After installing this tower bar, which was a piece of cake, of course, I noticed some more confidence in turning in and general transient handling conditions. Compared to how much the rear sway bar costs and how much result you get for that, I'm not sure the money spent on this strut tower bar is well worth it with a car with little to no suspension modifications. FWIW, I'm running this with only having done a rear sway bar. If you've done both sway bars and springs/struts, you may get more of a reward out of this but it was slight for me. I would still recommend for some additional feel and confidence in handling.

Comment
I love the look it gives under the hood, it really helps make the space look better. As far is performance I noticed an immediate improvement from the installation of the part, would and have recommended it.
Geoffrey Furman
Comment
USE THE CORKSPORT PROVIDED NUTS. The instructions do not mentioned the nuts provided in the kit. It should be emphasized that you need to use the provided nuts. On my 2018 Mazda3 the factory nuts have an internal shoulder and do not grab enough thread with the bar in place. 3 nuts managed to torque to spec. 1 stripped off the top 2 threads of the struts stud. With a little bit of finagling to get past the stripped threads, the provided nut was installed and grabs plenty of thread further down on the stud.

Comment
Not only does it add some flair to the engine bay but there is also some improvement in cornering stability. Not the first handling mod you should do but it is the easiest to install. Pair together with the lowering springs and rear sway bar for maximum effect.
Brent Garcia
Comment
Super easy install and looks clean af.
I was skeptical if I would notice a difference in handling, but I did notice it immediately. Ties the front end together and reduces chassis flex. I used to bottom out going over a my parking speed bump. After adding this I no longer bottom out. Also can take twisty roads so easily
Jonathan M
Comment
The strut tower bar seems to compliment other suspension work nicely while also adding some eye candy to the engine bay. Removing only one bolt allows it flip up nicely for battery removal and to access other parts under the hood as well, very convenient.

Comment
I noticed a definite improvement in front end turn in once I installed this strut bar. It makes the front tires seem like they are more connected to each other. I can tell it adds some stiffness that helps with steering control under hard cornering.
Jim
Comment
I dont think my mind is playing tricks on me, this definitely keeps the body more planted when turning. When weight shifts to outside wheel in a turn you can feel the difference.

Looks good and an easy install with noticeable driving improvement. Worth the coin.
