Mazdaspeed Front Struct Tower

How much will adding this change the feel of the car? Will I get more understeer? More oversteer? Any thoughts? Thx.

won't make an earth shattering difference but it is a nice piece / upgrade for some.
one of the added perks is the brake stabilizer for auto x / track guys.

I felt no difference what so ever. I doubt it's much lighter than the stock bar either.

I'm pretty sure the $250 or whatever it sells for will make you feel a lot better. It makes literally zero difference over the stock strut tower bar.

the only added benefit is the brake booster brace.
