Corksport FSB status?

[CA_MS3]

The Corksport "2010-2013 Mazda 3 / Mazdaspeed 3 Front Swaybar" (Axl-3-080-12) has been intermittently out of inventory since late last year. Can you share if this is due to a supply chain, market demand, or design issue? I am interested in a stiffer FSB with stock springs/dampers, but I prefer not to go with the two-position designs.

They were looking into a random bracket that is only on the 2010 models. Believe they have it sorted now.

Have you tried emailing them directly?

Update on the swaybars,

We have our supply chain sorted out and the swaybars will be back on the shelf consistently starting Friday this week.

I am in the minority who thinks Coleman and team specified the Gen2 spring and damping rates perfectly, so I resolved to go after the swaybars as the first handling modification.

I installed the Corksport rear swaybar last December on the stiffest setting. For the past year, I have appreciated the tighter cornering posture and what seemed like (then) quicker turn-in. I had the Corksport front swaybar and end links installed yesterday and picked up the car today. Wow. At least in enthusiastic street driving, the front-to-rear roll control balance feels perfect. The front end no longer feels light and disconnected and wandery. With just the rear bar, at times the car felt like it was running a front toe-out alignment. No more.

Full evaluation in the canyons and on the track awaits...

Thanks Derrick and company for pairing these great products!

James - Thank you very much for the feedback. I look forward to being able to supply this information with potential customers looking to do the same as you!

Good stuff man! Keep it up!
