Is the strut bar a self install?

Also would it be better money spent on the sway bars?

It is a self install, very easy; sway bars will be more effective...

I would buy this, but the engine cover can't be re-installed.

Engine cover provides no function, it only gets in the way and reduces air circulation...

Well, I hope your right about this making a differance.

I bought the Front sway bar and rear sway bar. Along with splash guards cargo net, alarm sensor upgrade, and sunshade. Trussville is the way to go man, I saved $140!

Ok, I had a little talk with Nick Fanelli at the Miami Rev it Up.

The Speedsource cars all have the MS bar on the cars because of the bracket that supports the Brake Master cylinder. He said "it provides for a firmer pedal feel under hard braking".

Cortc, if you really are getting rid of it, I'll pay you a bit more than Mikeb will

I noticed a difference, firmer especially during hard braking and corner entry... The firewall is very flimsy on the RX8, next time you have the hood open grab the top of the firewall and give it a push and you will see...
