Improve your Mazdaspeed's handling with the new CorkSport Rear Adjustable Sway bar. The Mazdaspeed from the factory has the tendency to overpower the front tires under hard cornering. The CorkSport Mazdaspeed 3 Rear Adjustable Sway Bar resolves this by effectively increasing the spring rate of the compression side of your Mazdaspeed 3 while turning. The adjustable design allows you to fine-tune the handling with an increase in stiffness of ~45% or 80%, depending on your driving needs. Each Mazdaspeed3 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.

Two end link attachment points to change the stiffness between 45% stiffer (1305 lbs/inch) than stock, or 80% stiffer (1603 lbs/inch).

A single piece is used to create the rear sway bar which adds strength by removing weak points such as welds. CNC bent for precise fit and made from 28.5mm 4130 Steel.

Superior bracket design with grease fittings for easy servicing with 90a durometer polyurethane, our brackets and bushings are the last you will need. Once installed, the reduced bar movement gives you extra confidence when taking corners. Durable blue or black powder coated finish: can survive the winter driving in areas where roads are salted for snow and ice.
It will take you approximately. 1 hour to install the CorkSport Mazdaspeed 3 Rear Adjustable Sway Bar with our easy-to-use color instructions.

Will this work on non-mazdaspeed models? I have a 2012 Mazda 3 I touring, with the Skyactiv engine
Yes it can, if you get the Mazdaspeed end links. We do have a rear sway bar option that is a direct bolt on for the NA models. https://corksport.com/corksport-mazda-3-rear-adjustable-swaybar.html
I currently have Corksport's older rear sway bar with the 3 hole settings. I no longer recall the stiffness rating for that bar and hoping you could tell me if the stiffest setting of your current rear sway bar is greater than the stiffest setting of my bar? Thanks in advance.
That would be an older unit that we no longer have the info to compare with, sorry
What type of grease is recommended during installation?
A white lithium grease will work well.
Will this fit a 2008 MZ3 Hatch (BK)?
Yes, it is thicker than stock, but mounts up in the factory locations.
Is it better to tighten everything down when suspension is loaded or unloaded? i.e. on ramps vs on jackstands?
I would recommend doing it on Jack Stands. You'll have more room to access everything you need and there won't be any tension on the components.
So you only offer end links for the front sway bars, not for rears?
That is correct, we do not offer the rear end links for the 3's
Does this fit both the Gen1 and Gen2?
Do I need to get my car alligned after installing this?
It's a good idea to check it after.
How often do you need to lubricate?
I would say check it, and lubricate as needed.
will I need new endlinks if I install this on a Mazda 3 sky?
You don't NEED new endlinks, but by adding our upgraded end links will increase how rigid the car feels in turns.
Since there is no FAQ section on the front sway bar, how much do the front and rear sway bars each weigh?
I don't have exact weights, but for shipping we list the Rear Swaybar as 15lbs and the Front Swaybar as 24 lbs.
Will these work with moog endlinks? Front and rear?
Yes they will.

This sway bar is definitely a must if you want to improve the handling of your Mazdaspeed 3. It reduces body roll and gives the car a more solid feel. Furthermore, it diminishes under steer when attacking a curve .Everything it said it would do. Just another excellent product from Corksport 5/5

will this work on 2012 mazda 2.0 non skyactive?
CorkSport Reply: You can fit the swaybar on a Mazda 3 if you upgrade the end links to the Mazdaspeed 3 type.

Easy install and good instructions. I have it on weakest setting but that is only 114% stiffer than EOM. Only other setting is 180% stiffer, will try that next b/c weaker is very same difference. Why such extreme differences:114% or 180%?? nothing in between. I don't race my MS3 but I hope to get a little more than 14% better handling. I read that too stiff will make tires slide (interstate ramps be hardest cornering for me).
Will the 180% make me slide on the interstate ramps on rainy days?? ~a little worried~ If I slide, I'll repost

Put it on my 2013 Speed 3, on the stiffest setting. Probably should not of been surprised, but i was. Holy S*** what a difference it makes. I am completely happy that i did this as my first mod !!
