WY Fd Diff Brace bars?

Hi all,

In the quest to reduce wheel hop, had my pillow ***** replaced and got the banzai diff brace...

only to find that on the under side of my RX there is some sort of bracing structure (2 bars) that mount to where the diff brace is suppose to mount and go back towards the diff and mount to the diff/subframe.

Ive looked all over and want to find out what this part is specifically. And can the banzai brace be installed under them? The bolts dont seem long enough to support both.

Added Pics for reference.

HPP 2in1 Diff Cradle/Brace

1. Cradle protects against diff case cracking
2. Brace protects against PPF cracking
3. Brace stops WHEEL HOP.....your grandmother can launch without wheel hop.

PS....for your set-up, longer bolts should work if both pieces mate properly.

The factory bolts are plenty long enough to go through both parts. Our Diff brace mounts the same way on the 94+ as it does on the 93

BTW the 2 extra bars you are seeing were added on the '94+ cars by Mazda. So you have a newer subframe or a newer car.
