that's for a protege, not a 3

edit: http://www.japanparts.com/shop/shop...=Mazda&type_car=Axela/+Axela+sports+<Mazda+3> check this page under 'strut bars' for the japan-spec strut bar... it looks real pretty!! (yippy)

Things are pretty pricey, but it's good to see there are performance parts for our car now

Yeah I knew it was for the Protege since it does say Protege...I also was told that they were similar and that it MIGHT work...I could have been told wrong...but regardless that Japanese place is a bit costly I will just wait until they get more popular and more people carry them...thanks for the help...

draXas will be offering STBs real soon I believe. They are made by OMP, and you can see what they look like when you download the pdf file here: http://www.ompracing.it/prodotti.html?categorycode=GBARREDUOMI&changelanguage=en


So far looks good, hopefully they won't be too expensive.

Good look thanks!

I am surprised that the 3 doesn't come with a front strut bar. The Protege5 is cheaper than the 3 but still comes with it.

Not like the FSB will make a noticeable difference anyway. Just for looks mainly.

you might not see the difference in daily driving, but if you take your car on the track, you'll see that the handling characteristics would be noticeably different. All depends on how you drive

Actually since the strut towers are so close to the fire wall you will not notice any difference no matter how you drive. It is the same one the Focus, pure eye candy.
