Strange
From what I've seen the brace sits in the area between the front wheels. The wheels are forced up by the lazy policeman and the chassis normaly follows.

Ive never heard of Mazdaspeed making or ever having made an underbody brace like this. But it 'could' only ground if you traverse the speed buimps at quite an angle.
Learn to put one wheel onto hump first then straighten car as you go over it
And you wont ground out

Please do elaborate on the previously mentioned brace kit if possible? Anybody..?
Anything for the rear upper or lower? Are we just talking about the rear strut tower brace available on some Type-Rs?

The ends look fairly similar to my Cusco one, but the brace is much better.
