CorkSport Reply:The Mazdaspeed 3 tower bar will work with our TMIC, the Mazda 3 bar will not.
CorkSport Reply: The bar fits all models of Mazda 3.
CorkSport Reply:The bar is only available in black now.
CorkSport Reply: Is there a reason you do not think it will fit your Mazda 3?
I do have a concern, however. I'm looking to trade up to a Mazdaspeed 3 sometime in the near future. Will this bar be compatible on a speed 3?

>>CorkSport Reply: The Mazda 3 brace will not fit the Mazdaspeed 3 models, it will hit the stock location intercooler.
>>CorkSport Reply: Yes it will fit.
Will this fit a 2008 Mazda5?
It has not been fitted on that model, so we can't confirm.
Will this strut tower bar fit with 2012 mazdaspeed 3 and has Corksport large core front mount innercooler
Yes it is compatible if you have a FMIC installed.
Will this fit a mazda 6 2009 GH?
It will not, the chassis are not the same size.
I no longer see the Mazdaspeed 3 variant of this. I have a front mount intercooler with undersided piping. Can I use this for my MS3? I'm impatient and don't want to wait for a revision for the MS3 version if one ever does come out. Also, if I upgrade to coilovers, will that affect the answer at all?
Cody, the 2010-2013 STB is available for the Mazdaspeed 3 here ---> https://corksport.com/mazdaspeed-3-front-tower-bar-2010-2013.html We have never had a STB for the 2007-2009 Mazdaspeed 3. The clearance between the TMIC and the firewall was too tight. If you are running a FMIC this listing you posted in should work if the manufacturer of the FMIC you have gave enough clearance on the turbo outlet pipe. It shouldn't matter on the coilover installation but call our sales team for specifics.
I have adjustable coilovers on my 2013 Mazda 3 i and was wondering if this bar will fit over the adjustment knob
It will fit over the adjust but you will want to make the hole in the top of the tower bar a little bigger to make sure you can adjust the shocks still.
Where is the 2013 mazdaspeed 3 front sway bar or is it no longer available?
It is available here https://corksport.com/mazdaspeed-3-front-tower-bar-2010-2013.html
Will this fit a 2008 Mazda 3 Hatch (BK)?
Yes
hi will this fit the 2011 mazda 3 2.5l
Yes it will
Will this fit on a mazda 3 mps 2007 first gen, as i see yes its fits, bud i've big top mount intercooler would that be a problem?
Our Speed 3 strut bar will work with our TMIC
will this brace fit with a large top mount intercooler en will it fit with the batary box?
The speed 3 one should fit without issue
Will this fit a 2005 mazda 3 SP23 2.3L
Yes
Will this fit a 2005 mazda 3 SP23?
I should as I don't believe that the strut towers have changed in location or design for this model.
I Currently Own this and have had it for a few years now and i can honestly say that i LOVE it, hate working on the engine with it on but that cant be helped, time to upgrade my OEM suspension that has 135k miles on it. Main question is will this Fit on the OEM Studs with the Corksport strut/spring combo with the Camber plate as well? My concern is that there is not enough thread sticking out to be able to get a grab on it with the nut as it is now, and adding the camber plate will make it impossible to get the nut on the stud.
Yeah, It should still work without an issue.
Hi! Is there any hidden marks or sg else to help identify the genuineness of the strut bar? Thanks :)
Just the lazer engraving on top
Will this fit Mazda Protege 2000 BJ?
It will not fit the protege.
Installed a few days ago. Ever since some 'cloking " type of noise come out from front. I have hand tighted it about 1/4 turn pass snug. It is so basic that I have no idea what could have created this cloking. Any ideas?
Some reviews stated that the Polish was poorly done. And that the bar came in contact with their hood passenger side. Were the problem solved?
Will this go on my 2008 i sedan
Yep!
Does this require removing the battery box lid on a permanent basis? I would like to see pics of it installed as well.
You should not have to remove any additional parts for this install. I do not have any pictures to show you of the part installed on the car.
I know this is for the mazda3 but could it by any chance fit my mazda protege? (1999 ES)
No it will not.
So this will fit a 2008 Mazdaspeed 3 with a fmic.
Yep!
Will this strut bar fit on a 2006 sedan? (will there be adequate hood clearance?)
Yes it will! You will have no fitment issues.
Is this compatible with 07 mazda3 2.0 i trim?
http://corksport.com/corksport-front-strut-bar-32335.html. This will be the tower bar that will fit your car.
I am curious if this will fit on my 07 Mazdaspeed3 with a FMIC (no top mount obstruction)?
It will not fit with the TMIC.
I also have BC BR coilovers installed, the bolts thread just enough through the nut but I feel as if its still unsafe. can you disconnect the two black braces the are directly underneath the strut bar so that you get more bolt clearance? Or is there any other way to make it work with BC BR coilovers...
If the bolts from the coilovers use the OEM bolts getting longer bolts would be a good idea.
Is this strut bar only available on polished now? Will the color black be available in the near future?
It will come polished. Black will not be available.
I have bc coil overs the bolts are to short to tighten the strut bar what should i do to make it fit ?
Are there plates above the mount you can remove? If not you might not have any options.
will this fit 2012 mazda 3 1.6L 4dr japan made?
It should fit just fine.
I purchased a third party strut bar for my 2.0L skyactiv. Unfortunately there is a vacuum hose above the engine cover that rubs with the strut bar and as a result, causes a lot of rattling/weird noises. Does this bar have the same problem? How can I over come it?
There is no contact with the engine and our bar with the 2.0 and 2.5 models.
