question: part

Anyone know a manufacturer of the 4 point strut bar?

I saw two pictures: one was red and RX8Honey posted the link the site, looked close to a V frame strut

but the second picture was silver and made more of an A frame strut.

anyone know of this product? and yes, i know my description is off, and yes i did a search, and no i dont care if this is a repost.

thanks in advance

ARC makes a Titanium one for the RX-8

they won't crack because they're not carrying hardly any load, the RX-8 has one of the stiffest chassis' made

stock, your car has a 2 point brace in the engine bay, and none in the trunk.

stock, your car has a few under chassis braces too.

These things just replace the existing parts. How much more rigid they make your car is anybody's guess.

Well I know that much LAWL What I don't know is the difference between just getting under or over style which is better if you were to get just one, I wasn't really sure if they did the same thing just bolted in different locations, or if they worked together
