Hey all!
So I've been looking around and asking many people as to whether or not a Strut tower brace will fit with a hotside kit on an M1. So far, noone really knows. Are there any that work? I want to say that maybe a bar off of an M2 will fit, but I'm not sure. I'm now starting to chase down rattles and make my car less sloppy- After I installed my HDHCDDM2 I was happy about the stiffness, but it also exposed how loose the front end feels!

Might try the Frog Arms first. I have heard those are the best thing after the butterfly chassis brace.

I have this on mine: http://www.good-win-racing.com/Mazda-Performance-Part/20-1092.html

I don't normally recommend cross posting but, if Dan doesn't pick up on his in a day or two, try posting in the 1.6L forum. He has a 1.6L Hotside and I don't remember if it has the STB or not but he would know.

Thanks you guys, I appreciate it! I wasn't sure how effective those frog arms were so that's good to hear. I would love to find a STB for under a hundred if I could.

I picked up a strut brace from an importer today (no idea about which brand it is) but it fits over my FFS hotside quite nicely. So it can be done for the NA's.

Thank you Saffa! I have been looking on ebay a bit lately for a cheap one. Hope it works.. either way I'll only be out $40.00 I suppose.
