FM strut tower brace

[V8KILR]

Hello, i was wondering, since i havent been in the miata seen for more than about 10 months. After reading a few(all) the "Miata Magazines", did FM quit developing their Strut Tower Brace, or do you have to call about it?

FM STB was $189

eBay knockoffs are <$25

Nowadays folks who want to spend the $$$ get a triangular brace which also bolts to the bulkhead, otherwise the Mazda OEM units from later cars are easily found.

Also, to be somewhat pedantic, it is in fact a *shock* tower brace, since the Miata doesn't use struts.

I agree with Toby. Get one off a wrecked 99 10AE or one of the Sport editions. Other than the triangle version, the 10AE version or equivalent, is extremely effective and adjustable.

Right now i have a universal Ractive that Mark @#$%^^&&** to fit, because, at the adapter far the Throttle body, there is a large triangular like...thing sticking out with a screw in a whole.

Also, To anyone who has a problem, Mark, the previous owner installed the RB tubular front sway bar. With all the hp and torque Mark removed the rear sway bar COMPLETELY because there was "WAAYY" to much oversteer.


BTW, Tom, sorry about that word before, I thought i censored it well enough.
