Are triangulated strut towers (to the firewall) worth the extra money? Does anyone other than demonspeed/mazdatrix make them? ~300 vs ~75 is a substantial jump in price...I'm trying to justify a triangulated bar.

Feel wise, would I notice? Has anyone driven an FC with both styles? What do you think?

One of those companies will get you the part shortly after ordering, the other will take your money and make you wait a long time and probably won't ever send you ****.

Search the second gen section. There are people that swear by the triangulated bars.

I love my CP bar. It made a noticeable difference. I forgot that I'd installed it until I took the car for a drive and noticed that it felt much more solid going up chassis-contorting driveways. (THEN I remembered - oh yeah, brace)

I love it EXCEPT for how it interferes with the master cylinder cap, causing a minor leak at the seals between the reservoir and the cylinder. It will leak down enough over about a week to cause the brake light to come on. Removing the cap involves tweaking the reservoir over, which done enough times is probably why those seals leak.

Would I install the CP bar again? If I was going to keep the stock strut tower location, and would be willing to convert to manual brakes or a remote-reservoir master cylinder, then absolutely I would. The difference is phenomenal. My next car is getting relocated towers, though, so nothing off the shelf will fit it, so the CP bar is going bye-bye. (I am dithering on the brakes)
