RoadsterSport MX5 ND Miata V2 Front Shock Tower 'X' Brace - Limited Edition RED Color

DESCRIPTION

Limited Edition version of our super popular ND Front Shock Tower X Brace powdercoated in red! This red goes great with the red color of Brembo and Wilwood brake calipers, and brings a splash of 'race' color to your engine bay. Limited number available!

One piece is MUCH stiffer than the multi-piece alternatives! Now updated to V2 with X design for even more strength. LIGHTEST Shock Tower Brace on the market for ND... featuring an ultra stiff honeycomb aluminum construction. Just 4.3 pounds! Finished with a durable powder coat finish. The aluminum bar possesses high rigidity and resists flex while stiffening up your engine bay for better steering response and less front cowl shake. Most easy way to reduce NVH. This bar for the ND Miata also connects to the firewall.

Made in the USA, carries a lifetime warranty!

Strong AND lighter!
Many times stronger than the multi-piece factory steel brace and yet lighter too! Factory steel shock tower brace: 4.5 lbs
Other aftermarket steel shock tower braces solve the strength issue of the factory brace, but are far too heavy, the lightest of them starting around 8-9 lbs and they go up from there! RoadsterSport V2 honeycomb aluminum shock tower brace: 4.3 lbs

YES, fits with Edelbrock Supercharger.

If your ND Miata came with a factory steel shock tower brace this is a nice upgrade designed to include access for adjustment knobs when you add adjustable shocks or coilovers.

INSTALLATION NOTES: Re-uses some stock hardware and includes additional hardware needed for install. If your ND Miata did not come with factory shock tower brace note you need to add the Mazda Cowl Mounting Bracket for Shock Tower Brace, our item 60-1238ND. Install of 60-1238ND is a challenge for average DIY owner, typically a mechanic will install the 60-1238ND bracket. If your ND Miata already has a stock tower brace then the cowl bracket is factory installed and swapping out just the shock tower brace is very easy, just 30 ft/lbs please on the shock tower nuts, and 15 ft/lbs on the smaller firewall nuts. Use a torque wrench! They cost $20 or less at Harbor Freight, worth the investment if you don't have one.

Note that due to small differences between cars, rear cowl bracket position, etc. the brace may not sit perfectly flat until it is bolted down fully. To install, set the brace in position and then lightly install all bolts/nuts that hold the brace to the vehicle and then tighten them down evenly. The brace will snug down to the vehicle and the result will be extremely rigid and strong.

Sound tube note:
Many cars do not have a sound tube. For cars that have a sound tube, the sound tube passes around the brace and will rest against it. The brace was designed on a car without a sound tube, and since most folks delete the sound tube, this was not a major consideration. We sell a sound tube delete kit separately on our site that allows you to de-clutter and simplify your engine bay. But if you do want to retain your sound tube you can, the tube just sits there resting against the brace, no harm is done.

Yes, fits with HKS supercharger and Edelbrock too.
