    Review: CorkSport strut tower bar for 2010 Mz3

    There has been much debate here and on another Mazda forum about the usefulness of the CorkSport strut tower bar for the 2010 Mz3, with many people speculating that the bar is unnecessary or is simply "engine bay bling" since the 3 is already so rigid. I've been driving with the CS bar for a...
