CORKSPORT Mazda 2 Torsion Bar

The CorkSport Rear Torsion Bar adds much needed roll resistance to the rear of the Mazda 2 to help keep all four wheels planted (wheel lift is an issue with this sub-compact Mazda). You can read about our intial Mazda 2 performance driving at a local SCCA AutoX here. This bar was a result of a needed improvement for the Mazda 2 through our experience in competition.

Our CorkSport Rear Torsion Bar was designed in 3D CAD software and optimized for strength and weight using FEA analysis. The brace was then thouroughly tested on the Mazda 2 to provide added roll resistance in the rear of the vehicle. With such a short wheel base, the 2 can lift a rear wheel during hard cornering. The rear torsion bar will help reduce wheel lift and result in quicker cornering and decreased understeer.

So now that you're interested, why should you buy the CorkSport Rear Torsion Bar? Let's cover the basics:

The CorkSport Rear Torsion Bar is hand-crafted from 1inch diameter aircraft grade aluminum and fully TIG welded along the mount points to resist fatigue over time.
Black powder coated. A durable finish to survive the elements and road debris.
The bar was CAD designed and optimized for strenghth using Finite Element Analysis (FEA). This ensures thatthe torsion bar is light weight, yet strong and rigid to resist body roll.
The hardware is grade 8, zinc coated steel to provide solid mounting without rusting.

CorkSport Torsion Bar features full color installation instructions, all of the needed installation hardware, and knowledgeable telephone installation support. Installation of the brace will take 1/2 hour with basic hand tools.

"Difference in the vehicle is huge!! When mated with the front sway bar the car handles as if it where on rails. The tires began to fail before I felt I should let off. Cant wait for my lowering springs and strut bar to come in and tie it all together!!"

"Arguably the best mazda2 mod. Definetly start with this one. Handed a tuned IS F his fake- exhaust -monkey -ass on a platter on a twisty bit of tarmac the day after I put this on.. It does what the other reviewers say it does. Sometimes the simple parts are the best :)"

"Made a huge difference in handling!!!...very good bang for your buck...as well as a lot less body roll and reduced understeer...i also noticed the rear shocks seem stiffer as well...makes for an exciting ride...except when i got the bar took an extra hour filing the inside of the holes just so the bolts could slip in...in the end made it work...little bit too much powdercoating in the bolt holes"

"Helps turn in response a lot. Eliminates some of the understeer and body roll. Overall for the money its worth it!"
