I like the tires! I might be buying those! How do you like the brakes?

 

what strut tower did you purchase... can we get some pics?

 

Does it even help?

 

I like the brakes so far they work great.
the strut tower I bought off ebay. It was super cheap so I figured I would buy it. the picture is a little dark but you can still see. to get the hood to shut I actually had to take the padding off the top of the hood. I could really tell if it made a difference becuase I put it on the same day I lowered my car. Right now my car handles great and I dont have any kind of rubbing at all. I planned on doing an alignment on it today at work, but It defently wouldnt fit on the machine. I am gonna have to take the front bumper off or get 2 real long peices of wood to help it get up there.

No.

 

that strut bar is a heck of a lot different than installed on my car. it doesnt look like it connects to the upper tri-mount. my strut bar (mazdaspeed) bolts up right atop of the strut tower using all three bolts on each side. and it doesnt make sense to me that with the addition of a strut bar the mazda6 gains nothing at all...its adding more rigidity across the vehicle. even though you might not be able to notice a huge difference, im sure it has something to offer.

 

Go to 6club and read every single thread about it. The mazda6 already has a very rigid body and chassis design. A strut tower bar is there ONLY for looks. Ive also had one on my car and it did zero. Its just like exhaust, has just asthetic value.
