Nah, Mazda slaps extra parts on the car that aren't really needed. Once I drove over a rhinoceros and it took out my rear subframe, car's been brilliant ever since
Pics of the damage.

hey guys thanks for the replies, i cant send pic of the damage as the brace has been taken off and the car is 3hours drive away. I will look into getting one from a wreckers. just wasnt sure if i needed it or if it was an important part to hold the car together haha
Thanks Mark
