Should you get a Front Strut Bar?

After the install of my Cusco Front Strut Bar, I was eager to take her to the track for my first impressions.
Watch the video till the end to see if it improved my miata's handling.

Bling or function? What do you think?

Thanks for the honesty, I’ve been keenly waiting on your review/thoughts.

It helps if you dont plan on lowering. It reduces the wobble when you do sudden steering.

Pretty good review. The feel of the car may vary depending from the car's bushings and the suspension. With those plus having a sway bar(front/ rear) and adding some rear struts should be a different feel going through the driving line or aiming for the apex. Stay safe and god bless.

Is deleting sound tube necessary to make an aftermarket brace fit?

I did notice a difference on my Na when I fitted one, but that's probably because the old cars didn't have as much strength in the chassis as your car , but it does look cool LOL 😀 cheers bro

Did the handling of your NA improve with the bar? Or was it also more for increased rigidity up front like what happened with Scarlet?

@@ReygansRides increased rigidity ( reduced chassis flex)equates to improvement in handling generally.

Good review. There are before and after videos on KZfaq. They make a difference especially on non-sports cars (non-Miatas) which are higher from the ground, thus have more body roll stock.

Those cars may have macpherson suspension which gets helped by strut braces. The MX5 is a double wishbone setup, which doesn't need the strut bar to much. Its more of eye candy actually.

I like that freakin t-shirt. I would like a strut tower bar for my NB. They say it makes a difference on the old Miatas. Some day...

It seems like the older cars benefit from it and the newer ones don't really need it

Strut bar or sway bar?

They are if they have hinges and/or thin pieces of metal.

All anecdotal. I want to see someone actually test one scientifically. I would put pointers on the strut towers that meet at the middle of the engine bay and then i would record the relative movement of the pointers with and without a strut brace.
