A MC brace is a waste of a modification for anyone not modulating their brakes under trailbraking. Anyone with an educated right foot, who is proficient at brake modulation during trail braking, will be pushing their car into lateral load limits. Hence, benefiting from the lateral stiffness that a tower brace provides. It's best to have both working in conjunction. The MS bar does both.

The car changes direction quicker than with the two point. :dunno:

I wasn't expecting much difference when I acquired it but was pleasantly surprised with the improvement. If a person is driving the car like a sedan then they won't notice much but if they plan on pushing the car at all in the corners like the car is intended. :) Then they will feel a difference.

Only reason I am not getting this is, I don't see it being compatible with my brace. :(

I will look at engineering one for mine once I take care of some other things.

Increased lateral stiffness translates to improved turn-in response. Electrical assist steering is the mechanism for turning the wheel. Chassis dynamics is what distributes load which the suspension articulates, which in turn responds to the steering imput. Again, all of these work in conjunction with each other.

But it sure does feel good. I really like mine.

They both have a job and both do something well.

The MC brace definitely makes braking more linear and consistent even under light stop and go city driving.

The strut tower brace isn't really noticeable around town but you'll notice it at the track when you're pushing the limits. The frame is like a giant series of springs that work in conjunction with the suspension. It will flex depending on where the least rigid part of the frame is. Usually it's the longest section without any bracing, buttressing or support. Usually it's the shock towers.

This is the point I'm stressing.

SevenStock BUMP!!!!

Richard: will you be there again this year? I might just have to take one of these off your hands...

he might want you to pay for it Jorge

BAH!!! Me and Richard go WAY back. :)

Anyone got one of these with an aftermarket brace

Any companies sell a brace like this anymore (without having to go and buy a Mazdaspeed strut bar).

I have a used on in the garage. Will dig it up if you are interested. Let me know.
