Ben - didnt notice much of a difference until going around tight hairpin like corners.. keeping in mind all the suspension stuff thats in the back of it
Just got to get my LCA brace and carbing front strut brace from rupe.. as the front feels abit average now cause of it Haighie - if u want to see the install in person come for a drive pictures dont do it justice on how neat it looks |

Try my car if you think Marcs would be fun, mine has got a rear sway bar, front and rear strut brace, Autoexe 5 point chassis strengthening kit and a Sport20 Rear bumper bar brace!
The Autoexe front sway bar is in the shed waiting to be fitted. |

good luck finding those... they're so rare because nobody really bought them... they existed on the market for only around 3 years, at most... they discontinued them pretty fast compared to other autoexe products for the sport20!
unless you are adamant in having genuine items, it'll be easier and probably cheaper to copy what phil has.... get together with other AGTers and you might even save in labour costs/reverse engineering costs as you can just spread out the expenses by far, it'll be easier to find the autoexe ram air intake... the autoexe big throttle is the 2nd rarest thing for our cars from them, and still easier to find (I've seen a few over the years)

update 26-09-12
- side passenger mirror is fixed - 18's are wrapped in kumho ku31 215/35r18 rubber -- saturdays job of fitting them - extractors are on with new cat (and hole after for the 2nd 02 sensor)and full system from cat back just need to get longer 02 sensor cable like what Marc had to do and the exhaust is done |

Nice man. The mazdaspeed extractors should serve you well, would love to see a set off a car one day to see the difference between the autoexe and the mazdaspeed extractors.

like Aaron has mentioned they are the shiz.. more chassis stiffeness order my 02 extension cable 36inchs = 91cms plus 60cm lead on the 02sensor so hoping its long enough to get to the rear of the new cat *fingers crossed* |
