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.

Not only just for looks!

I knew that the strut tower bar would help with chassis flex, but I was amazed at how much I actually noticed it. That sensation grows stronger with each suspension stiffening upgrade you make. The turns are tight and responsive. You truly feel in control of the car.

Not to mention how great it looks. Not a single scratch, smear, or smudge was on it! Install was a breeze too.

Overall a great mod to increase looks and performance.

I have had this strut bar for 4 years now on my early 2014 Mazda 6 automatic. I installed it before my black V1 Cork Sport Mazda 6 lowering springs and installed it after my lowering springs. Now recently after 2 years of running lowering springs, I've gone back to stock springs from lowering springs as I found that with the lowering springs while it looked really nice coupled with 25mm wheel spacers negatively affected my cornering which is the fun part of this car. I drive on twisty back roads and canyon roads a lot and During all the time I've had this strut bar I have never noticed any difference. The biggest difference was how freaking hard it made it to install a new battery. While going back to stock I've removed it to ease battery installation and I don't think I'll ever re-install it. No fault of the product, it looks nice it's built well and it adds bling to your engine bay but I don't think it does much to improve handling.
Nice Quality, easy install, not much difference01/06/2025, 12:39 AM
This should have been one of the first upgrades I did to my Mazda3 HB manual. After having the car for 9 years now, I immediately noticed added stiffness, the better cornering and overall improved feel and handling of the car. Highly recommend. NOTE: The nuts on your car are 14mm while the new nuts that come with the bar are 15mm. This took literally under 10 minutes to install.

Lot of people say these do little to nothing to improve handling but I disagree, it may not be as big of a difference as a rear sway bar but I can really feel the difference taking corners vs how it felt before. Definitely recommend this to anyone looking to improve handling without breaking the bank.

Was kinda skeptical of running a 3 piece front strut tower bar for functionality but after running this for some time I can genuinely say there is a discernible difference in how the car handles with this added to my car. I am not sure how easily noticed this improvement would be on a soft & supple stock suspension setup.. but when rocking suspension goodies like coilovers or lowering springs, and a rear sway bar, with this front strut bar you will definitely be able to feel that difference! I also really like the visual appeal of the front strut bar, its a very nice looking piece with the polished finish on the bar and Corksport plaque.

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.

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.

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.

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
Brent Garcia01/15/2023, 08:37 AM
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.
