AUTOEXE Strut Tower Bar for Mazda RX8 (Series 1 & 2, 2003-2012)

Tie the suspension towers together with a rigid bar that reduces flex, improving steering precision and chassis response.

$690

The AUTOEXE Strut Tower Bar is one of the most effective first-step handling upgrades for Mazda RX8 Series 1 & Series 2 models (2003–2012), using a rigid front tower brace to reduce chassis flex under cornering loads and sharpen steering response.

  • Constructed from a lightweight, high-rigidity oval-section steel pipe with an internal cylindrical rib
  • Reduces chassis flex across the front strut towers, helping maintain consistent alignment under load
  • Delivers a more direct steering feel and a more stable, confidence-inspiring front end
  • Direct bolt-on installation with no maintenance required once fitted
  • Finished with signature AUTOEXE red end plates for a high-performance look in the engine bay

You will feel an immediate improvement in turn-in precision and front-end solidity, with your RX8 (2003–2012) responding more faithfully to steering inputs.

For a well-rounded chassis upgrade, combine this bar with the AUTOEXE Floor Cross Bar, CUSCO Strut Brace Type OS (Front) or AUTOEXE Mastervac Brace.
