That one's sold anyway.

As the the thin...LOL, have you actually seen a V6 one?

SLY 323 · 10-10-2011, 01:51 PM

Don't tell me a v6 one is thinner?

Might look into a mazdaspeed one!

RedLineResident · 10-10-2011, 01:56 PM

Yeah man, the V6 is one is thinner.

Rupewrecht · 10-10-2011, 01:57 PM

Yeah the V6 one is a round/pressed tube of about 15-20mm.

That engine is filthy! Ms bars are dear now, as are all ba parts unfortunately.

SLY 323 · 10-10-2011, 07:15 PM

Wow, thats thin.

Rupe! How much for a Mazdaspeed front strut brace?

Do they do Mazdaspeed rear strut braces?

Cheers!

Nah, MS just kept the JDM Type-R one. Cusco make similar 'fat' ones to the the MS brace though that actually attaches to the strut tops. The Type-R one only fits to the strut tower sides.

project.r.racing · 10-10-2011, 10:25 PM

Buy cusco ones. They are the strongest braces i.ve used.

SLY 323 · 11-10-2011, 01:54 PM

Much price difference between MS and Cusco?

Rupewrecht · 11-10-2011, 02:11 PM

The Mazdaspeed one has been discontinued for a few years now, so is only available secondhand

There's a different front Cusco for V6 and I4, but the only different is the ends (and it's minimal)
