AUTOEXE Motion Control Beam Front and Rear for Mazda RX8 (Series 2, 2009-2012) AUTOEXE Motion Control Beam Front and Rear for Mazda RX8 (Series 2, 2009-2012)

Night and day difference, even on a bone stock suspension. While installing the AutoExe front strut bar greatly enhanced steering response and turn in, the handling improvements from it was very subtle. Likewise with the AutoExe tie bars installed in the front and back of the car. More solid feel, less suspension parts deflection under cornering loads. These Motion Control Beams took away the vibrations that are slightly felt in the steering wheel from small road surface imperfections. It also took away the bumps felt from pavement gaps and mostly the rumble felt from railway crossings and brick roads. Going through small pot holes and road patches, the stock suspension is finally doing its job to dampen away those bumps and doesn't get fully transmitted throughout the entire car. Big bumps, you don't hear a loud hollow "thump" emanating from the back of the car. Just a solid "thud". The car used to understeer and now it hardly does. It handles quite neutral now, even on bone stock open differential, and did I already say bone stock suspension? This is win win, all around, without sacrificing anything.

The ARD RX8 brand range collects every listed ARD component in a single browsable space. From here, compare your options and match parts to the direction your build is heading. RX8 ownership rewards careful planning, so reviewing a brand’s full offering in one place is a sensible start.

What to look for in ARD parts

Each listing within the ARD RX8 collection carries its own detailed product information. For example, fitment notes and what is in the box are included with each item. Before ordering, confirm compatibility with your specific car. Series 1 and Series 2 RX8s can have differing requirements, so check which applies to yours.

Also, consider whether additional components will be needed to complete the installation cleanly. The rotary’s compact engine bay and unique service intervals mean fitment accuracy matters more than on most platforms.

Planning your RX8 build around the right components

The strongest RX8 builds are put together with the whole picture in mind. Think about how each component interacts with what is already fitted, and consider what the car is used for and where the next stage is heading.

If you need to verify factory specifications, Mazda Australia’s official site is a reliable reference point. When working through the ARD RX8 brand range, use the individual product descriptions as your guide.

  • First, read each product description carefully for the specific details supplied.
  • Then, cross-check fitment information against your car’s series and build year.
  • In addition, consider any complementary parts the installation may call for.
