This was a very simple bolt-on, with a great increase in handling. I get a silly grin when going around corners now. There's a lot less lean and I have to press my left foot into the floor more to steady myself if I take multiple corners! Lol Great product and I love the matte black finish on this. Thank you!

I purchased this for my 3 i Sport Sedan and I love the increase in rigidity. The car takes turns like a breeze now.
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.

I just installed this strut bar on my 09 Mazda3 GT sedan and like all the other corksport products I have, it is amazing! Immediately you feel the tightness of your front end, the cornering feels more precise and stable. This is my first suspension upgrade and I am 100% satisfied, you will be as well.
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
Asked by Nick sylvester | 11/05/2018, 06:47 AM | 1 answer(s)
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.
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.

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?

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...
Asked by Michael Fulmer | 03/31/2015, 10:14 AM | 1 answer(s)
If the bolts from the coilovers use the OEM bolts getting longer bolts would be a good idea.
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?
Asked by Anthony | 11/02/2014, 08:30 AM | 1 answer(s)
There is no contact with the engine and our bar with the 2.0 and 2.5 models.
