Updated Pics-Washed MSP, Carbing Strut Bar

[jmv]

thats a very nice looking strut bar. Shoot, i'd love to have a 3 point. But i don't have the $$$. Did you notice any real improvment in feel with that bar on??

that strut bar looks badass... perfect fitment, makes me glad I helped you get it! I'll get it for myself in a few weeks or so... it looks like it'll go right in without having to do any s*** to the cruise control

Thanks again! The finish and fitment is first rate. When I told me GF I bought a $230 strut bar from Japan, she wondered how I would spent that much on a strut bar. Well, after I had received it she understood. The bar was beautiful.

I had the GTSPEC bar, MSP oem Bar, and now the Carbing strut bar. This bar is much stiffer than the msp oem bar (which is stiff than the GtSpec Bar). If I had the money I would have purchased the 3 point carbing bar, but since it was made for the RT hand drive the brake cylinder stopper can't be used correctly.

Thanks! My car will handle much better once I get a set of mazdaspeed a-spec struts in next week.

Right now, I'm driving without a rear sway bar because the tab on the tokico hp broke off.

Car looks really nice.

One question: looks like you have the SP exhaust, how did you get it to sit so close to your rear lip? I have an SP exhaust and mine hangs pretty low. I tried the Kartboy exhaust hangers but it really didn't change how it hung plus, they way they held the exhaust, I heard rattling from the exhaust pipes hitting the heat shield so I just went back to the stock hangers.

Thanks for any info.

I told my mechanic to adjust the hangers a bit. Also, I took the heat shield off when I had install the twm shifter.

It's a mod that was first done by Ben (horsepowerfreaks) on this board. I don't remember the exact company, but if you search his username I think you 'll find it.

You can get the cusco can almost anywhere these days. I would suggest checking evolutionm.net to see if there are any deals there.
