Ultra Racing 16mm rear anti-roll bar kit for Mazda MX-5 MK3 / MK3.5 / MK3.75 NC models listed in the compatibility table.
The Ultra Racing AR16-214 is an uprated rear anti-roll bar designed as an aftermarket suspension and handling upgrade for the third-generation Mazda MX-5 NC.
The anti-roll bar links the left and right sides of the rear suspension and resists body roll as the vehicle corners. Its 16mm solid-steel construction is designed to increase rear roll stiffness and help provide a more controlled and consistent chassis response during cornering and rapid changes of direction.

Installation notes:
Ultra Racing specifies AR16-214 as a bolt-on installation. The rear of the vehicle must be safely raised to access the anti-roll-bar mounting locations. Remove the existing rear anti-roll bar as required and install the Ultra Racing bar, bushes and brackets in the correct orientation. Check that the bar, brackets, bushes and drop links are correctly located and free from interference throughout the suspension's normal range of movement. Reassemble and tighten all mounting hardware to the appropriate vehicle or manufacturer specification.
