This is the only one I could find but I don't think it's an accessory in Canada. I may be wrong though. Your best bet would be to ask Joe.

Edit: No wait, mazdaspeed3 doesn't mean mazdaspeed!

Let me try again.

From the looks of this list

it looks like MoT sells it. Read MS Front struts 2.0/2.3 only.


:)

Those are for the front struts(aka :shocks) themselves and not the strut tower bar..

The one from corksport is aftermarket and NOT OEM like the one JPAV8S4U has in his car..

One last attempt. I don't like the note I left in this thread. I went on mazdausa.com and found one on an rx-8. This is the front bar.

and this is the rear bar.

And also page 8 (bottom, middle) of this link

This has to be the one because it is from the mazdaspeed catalogue and it even says "strut tower bars" on it!



Edit 4/4/08: After searching for practically TWO days for this thing (with breaks here and there), I still am not finding one on a 3. :bang For once, I even went on google and searched through a pages and pages and PAGES of links, browsed through countless 3s on cardomain and looked through a bunch of other sites as well. (Maybe I am not looking properly.) :whoa After all that looking, I found one more guy with a 3 that has this bar, but I didn't locate any pictures of it. (I only found pictures of the outside of his car, and none of the engine bay.:bang) As said above, your best option would be to go to a meet or ask JP to take pictures and put them up.

(By the way, I am STILL trying to find a picture of one, and I will update if I ever find one. Me not knowing what it looks like on a 3 doesn't help either!:rant:blush)

RE-Edit 4/4/08:
I don't know if it's just me, but many pictures from old threads tend not to work at times and then work at times. I just RE-visted a bunch of threads on this board in case I missed something (even though I checked and RE-checked them 50 trillion times), and look what I found! It's not on a 3, but look how pretty it is!:hawt

Carbon weave on Mazdaspeed strut bar

from http://www.torontomazda3.ca/forum/showthread.php?t=12116&highlight=mazdaspeed+strut+bar


As for whether MoT has it,

Some Mazdaspeed stuff would be very nice for example the front upper strut bar which we can\'t get over here.
