Sharing the experience I've had thus far with the Tenabe strut brace.
Ordered from Japanparts.com
Brace comes with a set of smaller nuts to replace the longer OEM ones.
Seems to be of a very good construction compared to some of the other strut braces I've dealt with in the past (none on a CX-5, so nothing I can compare it to in our market).
Installation time is around 20 minutes, including the use of threadlock blue on the nuts.
Difference in handling is marginal, but then I wasn't expecting a world of change after installing a strut brace.
