Read The Blog2019+ Mazda 3 – Front Strut Tower Bar is ready for action!


The CorkSport Front Strut Tower Bar is designed to offer handling improvement by increasing chassis stiffness. By connecting the two front strut towers together, there will be reduced flex in the strut towers during cornering, allowing the suspension to function better. This is most easily noticed with better driver feedback and added stability, so you easily know what the car is doing. Don’t confuse chassis rigidity with an uncomfortable ride though, as when not cornering, the car will ride exactly the same as before!

The CS strut bar is made out of 2024-T4 aluminum for the best balance of strength and lightness. The end brackets are made out of carbon steel that is laser cut and precision welded for the utmost in strength. The aluminum center section is fully polished and finished off with a CorkSport name badge for a clean look. The end brackets are powder coated black for corrosion resistance and a look that will match any engine bay.

All hardware needed for installation is included. The strut bar is connected to the brackets with chrome plated hardware for long lasting good looks and strength. We even supply replacement nuts for the tops of the struts to ensure plenty of thread engagement and final shiny touch. Best of all, the strut bar comes with full color installation instructions and can be installed in as little as 15 minutes!
It will take you 30 minutes to install the CorkSport Mazda 3 Tower Brace with our easy-to-use instructions.

WILL IT FIT OK ON A MAZDA 2024 AWD TURBO ?
Ys this will.
Can the battery be swapped and the brake fluid filled with the bar installed?
Yes you can but it will be easier to simply unbolt it which is very quick.
i was wondering if this would fit a 2025 Mazda 3 Sport GT turbo
Yes
Does this fit the cx30?
No, the mount points are not the same.
How much does this weigh?
Less than 10 lbs
Any update for CX-30 fitment?
We are looking into this!
Any update on whether or not this fits the CX30 turbo?
We have not fitted this to a CX30 yet. We recently added one to the fleet and may be verifying at some point.
It is definitely on our list of items to look into!
I also have a 21 CX-30 Turbo and would absolutely buy this and any other performance parts that you guys can verify fit the CX-30. It takes like ten minutes to test fit this, please please please check it out!
Will these parts for the 2019 all work on the sedan as well?
Yes, the chassis is the same.
Any update on whether this will fit the CX-30 Turbo?
This has not been tested yet.
Will this work on a 2020 CX-30 I know a lot of the current parts are cross compatible
While we don't have an official answer on that, preliminary rumors show this could be the case. We may have an official answer in the coming months.
Will this work on a 2021 Mazda3 Hatchback Turbo?
Yes it will
When installing this strut bar, do you need to realign your front wheels since you remove the front strut bolts?
No it should be fine.

Love this upgrade. The quality is superior to anything on the market. It really reduced the front end body roll. Install was a breeze. It is important that you use the torque specs listed in the instructions. Don't (wing it).

Good but would like to have been adjustable.

It's a truly incredible change; you'll notice the improvement in handling from the very first corner. I'm very happy with my purchase. Thanks Corksport.

I've had this on my turbo 3 for a couple months now. Haven't really had a chance to consistently push the car somewhere fun, but it absolutely shows up in some of the corners on my daily drive to and from work, especially with no traffic. Body roll is pretty much gone and the front end stays flat and planted, and is considerably more confidence-inspiring. I've been able to get the rear end to slide a bit on a few occasions when I never would have been comfortable pushing the car that hard before. I don't know if this or the SRI/heat shield has been a more fun addition to the car, but they're the next two things I'd buy after replacing the OEM tires. These cars are such a joy to drive when all three are done.

So I started with a rear bar on my 2024 Mazda 3 Hatchback FWD 6 speed stick. Really tightened up the rear for a lot less body roll especially mid corner.
I didn't think the front strut tower bar would be a huge difference but I was wrong. WOW! So neutral that I can't find the breaking point easily. Just a hint of oversteer at the extreme limits.Absolutely perfect combination- you need both!
Coming from the old independent rear of the previous body styles, I never imagined that this new body style would handle this well without independent rear. I was wrong. Thank you CS for making this possible! I feel like I'm driving a rear wheel drive car!
Sorry turbo 3's, but I'll be out of the turn and gone before you! HAHA!!

Installation was very simple thanks to Corksport's instructions. This high quality strut bar looks great under the hood and improves handling a lot.

Easy to install made a big difference in the handling it was my first suspension upgrade I also bought the rear sway bar I will install that this weekend I have heard that the two together are perfect but this bar by itself makes a large noticeable difference

Beautiful piece, and locks the front towers down with zero downside. Can't argue with a simple W

Easy to install, took maybe ten minutes. Looks great and the improvement in handling is noticeable right away. Roll is reduced a lot. This is the only suspension upgrade I have at the moment.
