Remove the tendency to overpower the front tires under hard cornering and minimize traction robbing body lean with the CorkSport Mazda 3 Rear Adjustable Sway Bar. Compressing inside suspension, the CorkSport Mazda3 Rear Sway Bar effectively increases the spring rate on side of the suspension which is compressed most and its adjustability allows you to fine tune the handling. Each Mazda 3 sway bar includes machined 6061-T6 aluminum sway bar brackets which are more durable than the stamped steel design common with other sway bars and look sharp with an anodized black finish.

Three years of driving with the swaybar. Then bracket decided to shear off. hmmm, you guys should provide a thicker bracket next time.

The mechanic said it was easy to install. I still haven't driven hard enough to test things out completely. That will come over time.
Edit to my earlier review. it was not my stock end links that were noisy but the bushings that came with the bar. the grease that came with it wore off after only a few weeks and squirting more in through the nipples till it came out the sides did nothing to quite it down so I replaced the grease with a few rounds of teflon tape and its been quite for months since. Next time I install a bar I am skipping the grease altogether and going straight for the tape.
I just put this in today and WOW. Love the turn it gives make such a HUGE difference over the stock one. Really good instructions as always and would recommend to everyone to get.



Only took about 40 min to install.
I love the turn in this bar gives me. The car is much more responsive now, great improvement at auto X. Only down side is that it makes my stock end links creak and groan like an old man's knees on every low speed turn on the stiffer setting. hoping new end links will fix this. Could not use the stock end links on the softer setting because they were hitting the control arm and making at thunk over every bump.
Noticed the difference right away and only on the softer setting. Didn't like the "Corksport" decal right where I needed to put the mounting hardware, it didn't survive the install. Maybe a painted on one would work better, not that I care, you'd have to be a mouse to be low enough to see it, haha.
Easy install. Took me less than 45 mins with one car jack and a couple of jack-stands.

The handling increase is amazing and on the stiffest setting compliments the CS Front Strut Bar superbly. I handle corners like nothing, anymore.



However I have one question I need to ask of CorkSport.

I'm looking to trade up from my current 2010 Mazda 3 to a 2010+ Mazdaspeed 3. Will this rear swaybar be compatible on the Speed 3?



CorkSport Reply:You can install the swaybar on a MS3 but it will not be much of an improvement over the stock bar. We recommend getting the Mazdaspeed 3 specific bar which offers a bigger upgrade.
Took about 30 minutes to install. Works great. Car feels more solid and very stable around corners.
I got this installed today on my 13 Mazda3 SkyActiv. Great product! The black bar looks like stock, but thicker (and adjustable). Easy install. I am running on the lowest setting, and it has great balance around corners. If you want to swing the rear around, you'll probably need to go for the firmer setting. I can't wait to wear out the stock tires (or run over something sharp) so I can put on some stickier rubber and really take advantage of this bar. Great product, and great support from the CorkSport team.
Got it.

Love it.

Will this bolt up to a 2012 MAZDA 3 6speed SkyActiv with no modifications to the parts?
