My New Pretty Part
The amount of flex will still be small (neglible for someone like you). And the cost of a one piece bar (if available) probably isn't justified for the slight increase in stiffness that it provides.

Initial impressions: Well, I'm not going to get to the point on the street where I can really see if there's a difference in feel. Especially with all the gravel Denver and CDOT puts down on the roads. The main thing I'm successful at is sliding the rear end out on the anti-cold tires I have. I noticed an ever-so-slight difference in brake pedal feel, seems slightly more "solid" when depressing. I backed off the brace just to see if it was in my head, and it definitely does feel a little different with the brace in place.
Overall, I don't think the difference will be felt on the street, especially since the car comes stock with a strut tower bar. So far, the two biggest mechanical changes on the car have been the RB sways and the AFE short shifter. I'm sure the F/R Mazdaspeed bars tighten things up a bit, but they definitely aren't a "let's go for a quick ride on the street and see if you can tell the difference" type of thing.
