Increases downforce, which means more stability at speed.

Thanks,

It looks like Chebosto has the english instructions, try PMing him. Let us know if you can feel a difference or not.

If you read the technical report that someone linked to earlier, they seem to have almost no measurable effect on under-body air pressure. But if you look at them as also protecting the brake lines when rallycrossing, you might still justify the expense. Your wallet may vary.

Yeah man, those went up....they were 600 and some change....don't they know we're in a recession:-) Where's the price breaks!?! Nice piece....I hope they actually bolt on instead of using the plastic clips...it would suck to lose one of them.

Any dealership can order these. Whether or not yours is willing to go through the effort may vary. They actually just need to get in contact with a rep that handles overseas inquiries. Whenever somebody comes in asking for JDM stuff, we have a contact that we use fairly regularly that works out of Seattle PDC (last I checked) and handles international special order parts through Mitsu US, JP, and EU, and, yes, Ralliart. They are still making certian things and they are available to order through the dealership. It is very much worth going through the hassle if you can get your dealership to order the parts, especially on larger items, because then you don't have to pay any of the obnoxious freight and mark-up charges that can come along with ordering from places like japanparts. Definitely worth a shot doing it that way.

Part number for this is right there on the paper: MZ575842EX.

Just visit your local parts dept. and ask. Simple as that

japanparts recently increased the price on all OEM parts on their site. as if they weren't ridiculous already.

cool looking pieces, doubt this was the best option for more downforce lmao
