Ultra Racing Rear Anti Roll Bar - 16mm • AR16-096

Ultra Racing 16mm rear anti-roll bar kit for Mazda MX-5 MK1 / NA models listed in the compatibility table.

The Ultra Racing AR16-096 is an uprated rear anti-roll bar designed as an aftermarket suspension and handling upgrade for the first-generation Mazda MX-5 NA.

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.

Fitment advice:

Ultra Racing manufacturer data identifies AR16-096 for the Mazda MX-5 MK1 / NA platform, with the Malaysian catalogue directly confirming the NA 1.8 and the current Ultra Racing US catalogue listing the NA generation from 1989 to 1997. Some UK catalogue data also lists NB compatibility, but this listing is intentionally limited to the manufacturer-confirmed NA application. 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 rear of the vehicle is required and suspension-related mounting hardware must be correctly refitted.

Why Ultra Racing?

Ultra Racing specialises in aftermarket chassis and handling upgrades. Its uprated anti-roll bars are designed to increase roll stiffness and reduce unwanted body movement while retaining a vehicle-specific mounting arrangement.

What's in the box:

• 1 x Ultra Racing AR16-096 16mm rear anti-roll bar
• Required bushes and brackets where supplied for the application
• Additional mounting hardware where supplied

Installation notes:

Ultra Racing specifies AR16-096 as a bolt-on installation using OEM mounting points. The rear 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.
