Anyone tried the Mazdaspeed Front Strut Brace or Feed?

Does anyone have any of these strut bars? I was looking to get a strut bar and didn't want to get the ordinary cusco strut bar. Also if you have any pictures of them please post them, I hear the Feed ones looks really good.

I used to have a ractive strut tower bar, and a mazda speed on my FC. I couldn't tell the difference between have one and not having one...

I have the Mazdaspeed Strut Tower Brace.

It is basicly the same as a Cusco.
The Mazdaspeed brackets are gold anodized so I think the Cusco with blue brackets looks better.
I had my brackets anodized in blue so it really is like the Cusco now except for the cool Mazdaspeed plate rivited onto the bar.

The bolts that came with it were too small and alowed too much play. I installed bigger bolts to remove the play and it works great.

Personaly I would get a Stock R1 brace or a Gab brace if I was doing it again. Just because those look cooler and have tension adjustments.
