Unlike the many "steel pipe crimped at both ends" braces available from other vendors, the Racing Beat Front Lower Control Arm Brace is a thick, cast aluminum brace that is both lightweight and rugged. As quoted by Miata Magazine, "The Racing Beat subframe brace is the nicest one we’ve ever seen, including Mazda’s." This brace has been powder-coated to virtually eliminate corrosion and is quickly installed beneath the transmission bell housing, attaching at the lower control arm chassis mounts. This brace attaches with a total of four (4) mounting bolts and is supplied with supporting -backing-plates- for a secure and superior attachment.
