OEM Mazda Miata Front Strut Tower Brace - NB / NA OEM Mazda Front Strut Tower Brace
Mazda Miata MX-5 • 1999–2005 (NB) & 1990–1997 (NA Retrofit) • Complete with Brackets
Overview
Genuine OEM Mazda Front Strut Tower Brace (Shock Tower Bar) complete with both factory mounting tower brackets and through-bolts. Removed from a 2004 NB2 Mazda Miata MX-5 equipped with the factory sport package.
This OEM brace ties the front strut towers directly together across the engine bay, reducing chassis flex, sharpening turn-in response, and stabilizing the front cowl over rough road surfaces.

Condition Notes
This brace is in good, fully functional used condition. The bar and mounting towers are structurally straight and undamaged with zero bends or cracks.
Cosmetic Wear:
As pictured, the center section of the black tubular bar shows surface finish rubbing/scuffing through the topcoat from under-hood clearance. It can be installed as-is or is an ideal candidate for a quick scuff-and-spray refresh or powder coating. Please review all photos for exact condition. Shipping & Handling
The bar and brackets will be disassembled and bundled securely with heavy-duty wrap to prevent metal-on-metal rubbing, packed in an appropriate long parcel box, and shipped via tracked carrier.
Genuine OEM Mazda component. Please verify chassis and hood clearance prior to purchase. Questions welcome.
