I would like to buy a shock tower brace for a 1999 Miata.  If anyone
has one they would like to get rid of, let me know.  Thanks.

I got one from eBay for $25 shipped. It works just fine. Be sure to
install it with the bar adjusted so that all the play is taken out.

Did it actually take some of the "shake" out when going over r/r tracks or
rough roads? They have them on ebay for about $10 plus shipping.

Yes, it reduced the cowl shake quite noticably.

The ones on Ebay are for 90-97 Miata.  I need one for a 99.  I will
keep checking Ebay.  I don't need it until spring.  Thanks.

I just bought 1 on e bay for $8.50 plus $17 shipping. It is supposed to be for
a 99-03.
I will let everyone know how it works.

Do you have a 99?  I am interested to see how it fits.   The
description says it fits 90 thru 01.  I thought the shock towers were
different between the NA and NB style Miata.  Let us know.  I would
order one with some feedback.

I have a 2000. Yes, I will let the news group know how it fits and works.
Besides for $8.50 plus shipping, how can you go wrong?

I bought one of these. The bar itself was marked 90-97, but it fit my
99 perfectly.

Yes, it still reduces the cowl shake quite noticably.
