Rob rx-7 - In response to your note about the vibrations. I got the car out on the road last night. I felt no vibrations at all from having the strut brace attached to the water pump bracket. The car felt pretty good.

You should see about cancelling/returning that Greddy one and getting the one that bolts to the firewall from that guy on Ebay.

Actually, those on Ebay aren't that great. The Mazdatrix unit is far superior because the firewall component mounts to that big, heavy seam across the firewall using bolts. The ones from Ebay just screw flat into the firewall with sheetmetal screws...not nearly as secure as the bolt-up method. Especially, considering the type of twisting motion and vibration the bar is going to experience.

whEN Ill put the greddy one on i post up how it feels or if i notice anything different in the cabin noise or streetability

I would still rather have the crappy one from Ebay then a normal 2 point bar.



Maybe on a stock car there is less vibration? MazdaTrix even advises that there will be noticable vibration transferred to the car with the addition of the engine brace

yeah i would figured that since its directly bolted on to your firewall. I was even day dreaming bout like if you get into and accident and if your front shocks got smacked or ripped apart from ure engine bay that because u have the 3 point strut bar the firewall will go right with it. I dunno i thought it was real funny as i ate my grill cheese sandwich

I have also thought of that scenario, if my car gets hit, I want it done for, I dont want to have to fix it, lol

Rob x-7 - Maybe my car vibrated so much before that I just don't notice it. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

YEAH THAT CAN be the case. Its vibrating so much you just assume its the horsepower increasing lol. enjoy ure strut bar. Im my rx7 performance handbookby mike ancas he says strut bars are good, there not just for looks
