I'm dont know what to get know that I have seen this
http://www.re-amemiya.co.jp/rx_8/05_rx_8_book_14.html
I had my heart set on getting the MS ones but I can see this in my Winning Bule 8. Oh yeah.
Anyone have these? Front and rear? Also why did they cut the carpet in the trunk? Is that someting you have to do when you install rear sway/strut bars?
Pros and cons?

 

the front appears to be the same, the rear attaches to a lower point on the shock. and yea you have to cut open the carpet to install the rear strut, since the carpet covers the shock.
don't think it'll make a difference though. maybe weight?
but the re-amemiya will cost you an arm and a leg to get shipped over i reckon. MS is still expensive so I dunno. they both look pretty good but the re- would look nice in blue.

if you want pimp, check out the autoexe four point struts. that's what i want.

 

Autoexe? Whats there link?
Thanks

 

RE-Amemiya strut tower bar will not work with the US model, their brake master stopper is on the right side so no use. and you have to cut the carpet if install the rear strut bar, or take the side carpet put as shown in your own pic.

ahh... i couldn't really see the brake stopper from that pic
here's a pic of the re-amemiya front stut and there you see it

it'll work if you chop it off... so i see that MS and RE make use of the brake master stopper.

 

It looks like they removed the whole carpeted piece from the trunk. When I installed mine, I only cut 2 Slots on each side so the bracket can stick through.

 

yea, when i helped my friend install the MS strut, we only needed to cut a few square inches in the carpet on each side. this attaches to the bottom point, but i do think you can still put the carpet back on. maybe w/o any cutting cuz of it being at the bottom. the carpet just might go over it.

 

Does the autoexe 4 points struct bar work with US model?

 

there's nothing to reverse it from the JDM model. all it is, is a strut. no brake stopper or anything. and unless something is different with the shocks on the jdm 8, it should work.

 

Spin9k has it. it looks hott

Im sorry but what is brake master stpper ?

 

I don't see any use for the brake stopper. It's just a bracket attached to the brake housing.

I could have sworn I have seen pictures of the AE struct from the right hand side of the car.

I like that blue.

The Auto exe is ugly.

I heard the RX7 strut bars work if you get the ones that are adjustable, There also alot cheaper.

 

If you pop your hood and look to the black strut bar. On the left hand side see that black stopper but not on the right. Yup thats it

 

What does it do tho ? Sorry I really dont understand this one
