Mazdaspeed Strut bar

Why are there two different Mazdaspeed strut bars? Are the US srut bars different? The one trussville sells is different from the mazdaspeed site form japan.

it is, its the authentic US mazdaspeed, if you want the 4pt ya need to import it from Japan no US dealer will have it unless they also imported it from Japan

The US Mazdaspeed version is 2pt

BTW... the US version of Mazdaspeed Front Strut is REBADGED JIC Magic Front Strut. I think the Rear Mazdaspeed is the same as the JIC Rear as well, not sure.
