Thumbs up Cusco Strut bar is great!

Just installed a Cusco aluminum strut bar I bought used off the forum on my '93 touring model.
Thanks to the forum, this thing is great! I can't believe how much better it feels! Steering is firmer and that annoying hood squeak is gone! Worth the $120!!

yeah, a strut bar is one of the better low cost upgrades for the handling side of things... makes you wonder why all RX7's didn't come with a strut bar.

True, but then again R1/R2's don't exactly count as ALL RX-7's do they? BTW, anyone know why the R1/R2 strut bars are so damn expensive? They aren't any better than the Cusco are they? I assume it's just typical Mazda pricing.
