It cost me over $225 to find out it didn't fit very well. Puts too much pressure on the brake lines when installed. Plus I had to grind down the flange to even get it close to bolting down. The firewall it bolts to is only the thin metal that hides the wiper motors anyways, just get the greddy or mazda speed, it better.
Then he said to ship it back, which I did, no one can find it now. Post office said it was delivered, he said he never got it, I'm out $225. He would not return e-mails, phone calls, etc.

I thought it fit great, of course they used my car to make the prototype. It didn't have any effect on the brake lines. I have had the piece on my car for about two years and have had no issues with it.
As for performance; the car has felt a lot stiffer since the install.
As for the company; great bunch of guys with tons of rotary knowledge, man you should see some of the stuff they work on. I know when I decide to put a tubro in my RX8 I will be using them.

How about this take on a strut brace for an RX-8. The RX-8 has upper and lower control arm front suspension, so the strut top takes almost side loading at all. Get a pretty strut brace, cause thats all its really good for!

In the future it maybe beneficial to search the good guy/bad guy forum of the 7club as there is alot more history on each shop over there. Unfortunately the two forums are not linked enough to learn from the mistakes of others.
It is a shame that you lost your money SeaRay and you are no alone in that regard.
