Local shop can powder coat front strut tower brace, but they are very busy,may take 2 weeks. Would there be a problem driving without it for 2 weeks????

 

I personally couldn't see a problem driving without it. All a strut tow brace does is provide additional chassis bracing, unless it is a structural part on the RX-8, which I very highly doubt. You just may notice a little looseness in the front and if you push it, you will feel a little more understeer.

 

no problems just may not handle as well if you would push it through turns...you'll b fine
