Increase the rigidity of your Mazda 3 hatch chassis with the Rear Hatch Brace. The installation of the CorkSport Rear Hatch Brace will further improve the handling characteristics of your Mazda 3 turbo hatchback, so you can gain more confidence and feedback when pushing the limits in your Mazda. The design of the hatch naturally leads to less chassis stiffness compared to the sedan which is due to the increased size of the cargo area. The rear hatch reinforcement is designed to give your chassis more resistance against twisting when cornering, to allow for flatter and more consistent performance.
The hatch brace is available in two configurations to give you the option to pick which is the best fit for you. The cross bars are also removable so you can take advantage of the increased cargo space of your hatch when desired.

I have driven our shop car with the brace installed, and even with stock 16in wheels it greatly improves cornering feel
