Mazdaspeed3 (2007-2013) Traction Bar

Get this sooner rather than later.

Best bang for your buck as far as difference making goes with parts. I’d say get this when you get the RMM. It dos take away some of the FWD chaos, but not having to fight the steering wheel is kinda of nice. I wish I had gotten it sooner. For the price and feel, I think this is a must have. Same with the rear traction bar, but it’s not as immediately noticeable. 10/10 build quality too, exactly zero fitment issues.

Tight front end!

2010 speed3 that likes to dodge cones on autoX here! My front end was super clunky and decided to replace the LCA's OEM bushings with poly bushings, anti lift kit and poly sway bar links. Since I was undoing the LCAs I decided to purchase this traction bar. Installation was not bad at all and the dimensions of the holes matched the locations of the inner forward front LCA bushings. The bends on the traction bar clears everything against interference. After I installed and aligned the car, everything is so quiet and the handling is so tight! I might install the rear one next!

2012 Speed 3 Better handling and less torque steer

I was getting bad torque steer in 3rd having nearly 400 hp and this helped alot. I can go WOT in 3rd now and the car will go straight. Before it was really scary as the car would veer off at high speed. I also noticed a tighter feel in the front end when taking a long sweeping turn at 60 mph near my house. I take this turn everyday and can take it a faster speed now with more confidence. Install could've been a touch easier if the bolts didn't have to be fully removed. Perhaps having slits so you can just loosen the bolt and slide it in. Putting the bolts back in took some wrestling and the space is tight to work in. Overall great product, price and shipping!!
