Just got the OBX strut bar for my 99 pro and dam is it nice very, very beef with some nice style to it. Looks a lot like a DC sports bar. If anybody is interested I'm now offering my MP3 strut bar for sale red with non-cruse mounts for $50+S/H. FYI I got the OBX bar of an Ebay auction. I have to give a big thanks to Groharlem for helping install my Mazdaspeed adj. Struts, H&R springs, B&M shifter, and KVR pads and rotors (F’ing rotors are warped though) this past Sunday the car corners like its on rails now. Any of you guys out there with Mazdaspeed strut got any tuning suggestions? I.E. what setting do you run them on for regular street drive, AutoX, etc.
Thanks

i don't have the struts, but iwas going to say something similar. start loose and tighten as you drive around to get the feel for what they are doing.

on the OBX strut bar, can you get any pictures? how hard was it to install? any mods neccessary to get it in? (like the corksport bar) i would like to get the mazda one, but i am not too keen on spending $140 for it. (and i have cruise control)

I'm working on a web site to host my pics. The install of the OBX was the easiest I've done. Remove the four bolts holding the strut top hat, insert the mount and tight down the bolts. The OBX bar has bolts on either end like the Cork Sport. Insert the bolts tighten the bar down and your done maybe 15 minutes. No mods needed. FYI I have cruse control, for the MP3 bar mounts I just cut up the mounting bracket for the cruse control so the MP3 bar mount fit. All it took was a hack saw, vice, and about 30 minutes. Pretty simple. I’ve got buddy who on a different car used an sheet of aluminum acquired from an old road sign and made a custom mount for the cruise control and mounted it to the fire wall using a RotoZip. I was thinking of doing the same thing with aluminum diamond plate that you can get at Pep Boys for use as Redneck mud flaps. I’m going to use the same stuff to make some other custom engine bay stuff like an battery strap, fuse box cover, N20 control holder etc. should look really good. Thanks for the setting info. Best to learn from the mistakes of others than make them your self, right?
Thanks
