robinsone Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 So I decided to take the leap and swap out the rear sway bar on my stock '10 SE 2.5. I got 17mm on the stock bar and the Mazda6 FWD '02-'06 I got 19mm. Luckily it came with the larger brackets which needed new bushings specific for the Mazda6 rear bar. It was a bit of a nightmare install, had to drop the rear exhaust muffler, gas tank shield and then spent the better part of 30min figuring it in there. Attached new links after. All in all not a bad process but fitting the bar in was very tight. I also swapped out the Mazda6speed or turbo version front calipers and rotors which was a much easier job, just be careful undoing the hard lines from the rubber one as I twisted mine. Much easier install and everything fit to stock points. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WKelley Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Speed6 brakes are nice but you need to swap in the Speed master cylinder (it has a larger bore for the larger calipers) to make them work 100%. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinsone Posted June 12, 2023 Author Share Posted June 12, 2023 Bore is the same for both, do you have specs on this. All parts on Rockauto are interchangeable including the booster. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WKelley Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 From what I see on RockAuto the bore is slightly smaller. So with that note I'm not correct. Last time I looked all that stuff up is when I had my 2004 Mazda 6 that I was going to do the swap. The master is different between the 2 cars so I'm not sure I'd say they are interchangeable, but it should work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
