Seems similar to these, which are supposed to work very well by reinforcing things you didn't know were flexing:

The Miata ones look a lot more reinforced. The 149E cost for the Honda parts is about $200. I wonder if the Miata ones are made for other marques?

I thought it was... IT is different than SCCA?

Improved Touring is a category within the Sports Car Club of America.

Those items are very clever - I wish they were offered for my Integra - but such braces are not allowed by the regs of Improved Touring, Spec Miata, and possibly even Production...?

In Prod you can seam weld, and have invinite attachment points for your cage, which can even extend through the firewall to the front shock towers, but I don't think there's any rule that would allow for the addition of braces like that.

And the entire purpose of this forum where the post (or advertisement) was posted.

Yup, sexy as it is, it's not allowed in Improved touring. Please spin again.....
