Ultra Racing 23mm front anti-roll bar kit for Mazda MX-5 MK1 / NA and MK2 / MK2.5 / NB models listed in the compatibility table.
The Ultra Racing AF23-095 is an uprated front anti-roll bar designed as an aftermarket suspension and handling upgrade for first- and second-generation Mazda MX-5 models.
The anti-roll bar links the left and right sides of the front suspension and resists body roll as the vehicle corners. Its 23mm solid-steel construction increases front roll stiffness, helping provide a more controlled and consistent chassis response during cornering and rapid changes of direction.

Fitment advice:

No transmission or turbo-specific exclusion is stated in MazSpec's generation-wide application. As installation involves suspension mounting points, inspect the existing bushes, brackets, drop links and associated fasteners for wear or corrosion during fitting. For imported, modified or previously repaired cars, matching the mounting arrangement on the vehicle before installation is recommended.

Difficulty guide: Intermediate DIY / workshop installation. Safe access beneath the front of the vehicle is required and suspension-related mounting hardware must be correctly refitted.
Why Ultra Racing?

What's in the box:
- 1 x Ultra Racing AF23-095 23mm front anti-roll bar
- Associated bushes / mounting components where supplied as part of the kit
Installation notes:
Ultra Racing specifies AF23-095 as a bolt-on installation. The front of the vehicle must be safely raised to access the anti-roll-bar mounting locations. Install the bar and associated components in the correct orientation and check that the bar, bushes, brackets 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.
