That's why I have it custom made. None of the 4 points strut bar have the brake cylinder stopper for the left hand drive model.

The side brace is a sandwich of very heavy metal, you have to open up the fender area to get the behind the fender to tighten the metal bracket down against the main brace. The brace pretty much becomes an integral part of the chassis at that point. How does this afix to the side?
But there is the nice triangles formed by these braces and that is a very good idea and design. I think if you're going to make a brace, some solid triangles forms are essential to rigidity. Surprised no one has made a brace like this before, hope it work good for you at track.

I am using the exact mounting location as the Autoexe on the side fender mounting points. Why I am so sure? Because the guy made mine strut bar installed the Autoexe on the other rx8 2 days ago. We did used a backing plate on each side mounting point, and the only different is that Autoexe uses 2 bolts on each side, but we used 1 on each side only, the big 1 on Autoexe's setup. However, I may go to 2 bolts setup later.
