HUGE improvement! Wow! Must have!

only 3 stars. the quality is good, but for the people who have bought camber plate, the strut bar is close, so you always have to take off the strut bar to tune camber

Meh. It's ok. From Canada with shipping fees the quality of the bar is never worth the price. The finish is bad and the.0.49$ sticker on it was not even applied straight. The Polish was scratched all the way from bad storage at corksport and badly uneven. A dent was already on it. And who ever says that it makes a huge difference on a skyactiv is only a placebo effect. Rear sway bar (that's a real upgrade & then front sway bar should be done first. Only reason I give 2 star is because I like corksport and the staff are real awesome people.

I installed the strut bar on my 2013 mazda3 sedan, easy install. I noticed a big difference right away. Big improvement on sharp curves and ramps. And it looks great on my skyactiv.this is a great buy and worth every penny.

Just installed this on my 07 GT Sedan, few good things and a few bad. First the good: Makes the engine bay look nicer, and I definitely noticed a change when going over bumps in the pavement, front end feels more solid and well put together, havn't tried excessive cornering yet as it's raining hard here so I can't speak to that, the welds look very well done also. The bad: Mine came with a few dents in the strut bar, and the polish job was deplorable, one of the worst I've seen in awhile on aluminium, parts of it were shinier than others, and many scratches some pretty deep were left behind. Also the installation makes no mention of removing the factory strut tower plates, and makes it seem like you just drop the bar on, so that's what I did, checked clearance and it seemed okay, upon closing the hood, it bent my hood about an 1/8th of an inch upward on the passenger side toward the rear of the hood where it meets the fender, I was pissed to say the least, so I went back in and removed the factory plates, reattached the bar and spent a few mins readjusting the hood so it would once again fit flush on the passenger side. After doing all this the hood closes properly again. (After doing some searching it appears that this has happened to others with the sedan, as it seems the bar was designed for the hatch and the hood has slight clearance differences with the sedan, Corksport should change the install documentation to include removal of the factory strut tower plates for sedan applications.)

Well-built, looks fantastic, worth every penny, does it's job perfectly.

Honestly I felt very little difference after the install of this bar. I believe that this has more to do with how well the car is built than the build quality of this bar.(2010 2.5 hatch with only 16K miles) The last car I had a strut bar on was a mid 90s 240sx and that was a night and day difference in terms of steering feel and mid corner kick back. The strut bar is just gorgeous to look at and the welds are very clean. Those with higher mileage cars where the subframe bushings has loosened up a bit may feel more of a difference. More under hood jewelery for me but would purchase again!

This bar works as advertised and is simple to install. You notice a huge difference in ride quality, making the ride a lot less "crashy" and much more predictable. Cornering performance is also greatly improved. Worth the price, and a great simple upgrade. I've written a more in-depth review of this part here: http://www.onefootonthegas.com/?p=73
