[Miata] STS2-legal chassis braces for a '94 ?

[Larry Alster]

I don't have this on my cars.

I would suggest checking with Keith as he did a specific before and after 
blind test by installing it on his girlfriends car without telling her. 
IIRC she immediately knew he had done something to her car.
