Hi all,

another what, where, how, why question.

See picture below, what are each of these struts for, what do they attach to and why are they needed?

the bottom are anti roll bars i do believe

Ta Scott, I should have mentioned they are both FEED items (of course

)
That is one industrial looking brace!

I wonder what the top one has to navigate around to need that large \'U\' bend in it?
So the blue braces are ant-roll bars, for front and rear I presume. So could all 3 be applied to a car?

The top brace sits just behind the seats. The kink is for the centre tunnel.

The lower picture are the anti-roll bars.

Aaah, thanks. I don\'t think I\'ve ever seen a strut brace for such a low position on the rear towers - I only knew about the top mounted braces.

Thanks guys.

Its not for the rear towers chris - it goes across the tunnel as Danny says JUST behind the seats.

Aaah (again), I read it as being behind the rear seats - doh!

For under car braces, you have the either the Auto Exe or I think the Mazdaspeed bits.
