Front Strut Brace for my rx-8

I am looking for RX-8 front strut brace for my rx-8. I saw some REALLY nice ones at SEMA but they look expensive too.

I did find one from Z1 Auto. It looks pretty nice also.



What do you guys think? Is there another recommendation?

Does look pretty nice, and w/a nice price too. I'm unsure about why some have fixed joints, others have these flex joints. Wish I understood the dif, and if getting a 2-pt brace, and the flex is Ok, this would be a good pick.

But what I really want is something like the MS 4-pt brace w/the brake brace on the correct side for US. Or even a 4-pt without the brace. Pls no one suggest cp racing... they seem to suck eggs to say the least.

I got the 2 pt. Mazda Speed unit. It is pretty good, it has helped reduce the chassis flex. You do have to be careful with the 4 pt brace, while it increases chassis rigidity even more I hear that it transmits more chassis vibration, so even when at idle you may get a bit more rattling.
