[Features & Recommended Points]
●Hollow Aluminum Shaft Combining High Rigidity and Lightweight
Adopts a hollow aluminum shaft with dimensions of 50mm width and 15mm thickness. Designed to ensure rigidity while keeping weight low, achieving an optimal balance as a body reinforcement part.
●Improved Cornering Performance and Handling Stability
By equipping a strut tower bar, torsion and distortion of the body during cornering or braking are suppressed. This allows the suspension performance to be fully utilized, enhancing driving stability and responsiveness.
●Black Special Coating + Laser-Engraved Logo
The shaft surface features a special coating that is more scratch-resistant than standard black, ensuring high durability. The BLITZ logo is laser-engraved at the center, enhancing the overall premium feel.
●Vehicle-Specific Bracket Design
Designed specifically for models such as the Mazda Roadster ND5RC / ND5RE / NDERC / NDERE (including RF models). The brackets are less likely to interfere with OEM parts and ensure precise attachment.
●Product Specifications & Compatibility
- Code: 96112
- Installation Position: Rear (reinforces the rear strut area)
- Compatible Models Example: Roadster 2015/05~ ND5RC (P5-VP, P5-VPR)
- RF Model Compatibility: Compatible with RF NDERC rear installation (trim modification required)
●Real-World User Reviews on Installation Effects
Users report reduced rear body sway, a feeling of increased vehicle “solidness,” and improved rear rigidity. Although installation requires trimming interior panels, the effect is widely acknowledged as positive.
●Comprehensive Installation Instructions & Manual
BLITZ provides an official manual for the 96112 tower bar, including diagrams for interior trim cutting and installation steps, which can serve as a useful reference during installation.
[Installation Precautions]
- Removal of rear interior trim and trimming may be required.
- Strut top nuts and trunk covers must be removed during installation, requiring proper tools and working space.
- Always confirm compatibility with vehicle model/year. Structural changes due to model updates may affect fitment.
- Ensure sufficient clearance with other suspension components such as coil springs, upper mounts, and shocks. Pre-check for interference.
- Pre-driving inspection: After installation, check torque, attachment stability, and body deformation. Regular inspections are recommended.
[Summary]
The BLITZ Strut Tower Bar 96112 (rear) is a body-reinforcing part specifically designed for the rear of Mazda Roadster ND/RF models. Its hollow aluminum shaft achieves the ideal combination of “lightweight and high rigidity.” It suppresses body distortion during cornering and braking, maximizing suspension performance to enhance driving stability and responsiveness.
The black special coating and laser-engraved logo add a premium touch. Vehicle-specific brackets ensure precise installation, and user feedback often mentions improvements such as reduced rear sway and increased body unity.
However, installation requires trimming interior panels and proper tools, so careful attention to the procedure is recommended for DIY installations. Checking model and year compatibility is also essential.
For Roadster owners aiming to refine driving performance and enhance body rigidity, the BLITZ 96112 rear strut tower bar is a compelling choice.
