Sharper steering reponse and firmer brake response so far is what I feel is the main advatage. I also am in competition with my friend's 911 Carrera, and I have his car beat hands down on handling currently - he was simply amazed when I let him drive it.

Not sure about the Autoexe brace, maybe buzz Matt at RX8garage and see what he can do. As for my car, I still have my wish list below, rims, tires, and a possible body kit to go

The stock engine cover does not fit over the MS strut tower bar, unless some cutting is done.

However IPT (check vendor forum) does sell a CF cover that fits.

Hey nemesis, I see you don't have the tire repair kit in the car. You don't carry it anymore?
If you can't find a way to fit there with the bar, cortc had a great idea, just see his thread with the MS bars... or you think its useless ?

Still have it - the kit is in the floor well part of the trunk. I really do not ever want to spray that tire goo into a flat, I hear it ruins your tire. So, I'm not sure what I want to do about the spare. Do you have a link to cortc's thread?

lazy boy:D here you go
https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-wheels-tires-brakes-suspension-55/mazdaspeed-rear-strut-bar-32086/

I asked because I'm thinking of leaving it in my garage. It can fix a tire only in special occasions, so why carry the extra weight? This way, I can leave behind all the tools that lift the car too, when driving around in the city. Just load them on only in a trip...
