CorkSport's front strut tower bar for 2014-2018 Mazda 3 and Mazda 6 increases the torsional stiffness of the chassis front end to improve driving feedback and response. Despite what many think, the front tower bar is not for appearance only. It advances the handling and stability of your car when you take a hard corner and body roll in general. Decrease the stress on your car's suspension and boost traction by adding our cost effective strut bar. You'll certainly feel the difference.
Pair it with our rear sway bar for optimal handling. Share your experience with the CorkSport community by adding a review.

Material: We created the strut tower bar out of 2024-T4 aluminum for Mazda 3 and Mazda 6. It not only provides excellent strength, but is also lightweight and durable.
Hardware: T304 stainless steel hardware for securing the bar to the bracket, for long-lasting looks and corrosion resistance.
Finish: Polished aluminum strut bar for great looks with the stylish CorkSport logo plate.It will take you between 15-45 minutes to install your front strut bar. Follow our easy installation instructions to enhance your handling.
Excuse me, do you ship to Mexico?
Yes
I have a 2015 Mazda 3 what Corksport Coilovers. Should I torque the strut nuts to 23-28 ft/lbs like on the strut mount or 30-35 ft/lbs as noted on the coilovers?
30-35 ft/lbs is correct
What is the total gross weight of the product including packaging?
The gross shipping weight is 15 pounds.
Will installation of these products violate my current manufacturers warranty through Mazda on my 2018 Mazda 3 GT Premium?
This particular product doesn't remove anything or replace any OEM parts. Typically something like that won't affect warranty. But it's not a bad idea to check with your local dealer.
I currently have this on my 2016 mazda6 but am upgrading to a new turbo version this week. I also own a 2016 mazda3. Will the strut bar from my 16 mazda6 fit the 16 Mazda 3? Thanks in advance!
Yes it will fit.
will this fit the new 2019 mazda 3 hatchback?
It will not. We are working on products for the 2019 models.
Will this fit the 2018 Mazda 6 2.5l turbo?
There are some small differences so it will not. We are looking at getting one made for the 2018+ models.
What about the 2018 Mazda6 2.5 non-turbo fitment?
There is enough of a difference in models we are looking at a new design.
Does this fit my European 2018 2.0L Mazda 3?
Yes
Does the bar come colored as shown?
Yes sir it does!
Would this work on a 2016 CX-5 with the 2.5 SKYACTIV motor? I understand it is not meant for this other model, however, just curious... if not, will CorkSport be producing a strut bar for the CX-5?
No it will not. Unfortunately, we do not have any plans for this.
Does the install of this bar have any effect on my 2016 Mazda 3 SGT factory warranty? TIA
This should not affect your warranty. Anytime warranty is voided due to aftermarket modifications would be if the dealership can prove the aftermarket part caused the fail. I would assume a bar across the motor wouldn't be a cause of any kind of warranty issue.
Does the vehicle need to be jacked up to install the strut bar, or can the wheels be supporting the weight of the car?
You want your car on the wheels when you install the bar.
Can the painted components (or better yet, all of the parts) come in red (to coordinate with the red interior stitching and the car's red paint?
We do not have the facilities to offer customer colors :(

Very easy to install - excellent instructions. Looks good under hood - time will tell re: performance (difficult to put to the test due to winter here in Ottawa, Canada). Very satisfied.

Very easy to install. Looks great under the hood in the engine bay. Awesome product !!!!!
- Comment
The strut bar made a noticeable difference in my Mazda3 considering that it is a McPherson Strut setup to which strut bars play a more major role in handling to reduce the understeer. I would highly recommend this bar and the rear strut bar from CS!
- Comment
The CS strut bar should be your first mod. It's lightweight, easy to bolt on and gives a noticeable increase in handling. CorkSport was kind enough to get it powdercoated for me at a fair price and it looks fantastic.

Great item, easy & fast assembly, noticeable difference during cornering (tested before & after several times but might be slight or no differencefor casual drivers)
- Comment
Super Easy install, noticed the difference right away, front end felt very planted to the pavement
- Comment
Looks great and easy to install. No noticeable handling improvements however.
- Comment
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.
- Comment
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 :(
- Comment
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.
