most are in the RX7..there are some MR-Spyder ones however.

I've had good experiences with a front strut bar on a different
vehicle - for whatever reason.

I've been wanting a matching set - to match the rear strut bar
(which does help) for my TT for years now.

If someone would be so good as to take my money
and ship one to me - I'll pass along my own analysis. :)

I'd have to agree ---- unless the price is exorbitant I'll have to try
one out also. I would expect to see less improvement than on some
cars --- the strut towers on our cars is tucked up tight to the firewall
and should be fairly rigid,  in the RX7 the towers are farther forward
as was my old 240Z. The more wobble in the tower the more effective
a tower brace.
Let's get going on this project.

Subject: Team3S: OT: Recommendations for a clutch on an RX-7??

Sorry for the off topic post but I know some of you have RX-7's.  My buddy
has a '94 and he needs to get a clutch.  He doesn't plan on doing too many
mods to his car but does plan to increase power a little bit.  What clutches
would you recommend?

Thanks,
Michael D. Crose
