I found little information of these parts online. I am certain that the international versions have those installed on F-sports model. But how about US version? Has anyone noticed and is able to locate those? I did find corradoMR2's post related to this but still want to see if any US owner has seen them?

I took a quick look last night on mine and didn't find it under the hood. Mine is F-sport AWD.
If this was part of "downgrade-to-save-cost" on US version, that would be really a pity.

Looks like a tower brace for the front and rear suspension.

Not a big deal considering its not a performance car.

It's more than a brace, actually has a piston and gas chamber to counter vibration and distortion. http://global.yamaha-motor.com/business/pd/

You can look at a decal inside your hatch--take out the styrofoam carrier and look down. corradoMR2 has posted a good picture in post 85 of the Interesting Discoveries thread. I don't know of any pictures of the front damper.

So, yes, US has them.

Thanks Jim. I did see corradoMR2's post before but I thought his is international version? Anyway I will definitely check the rear tonight. Saw the price from a foreign NX forum, these 2 dampers cost around $1300 US dollar. And they do make a difference due to the shock absorbing design.

FYI--my US '15 F Sport AWD definitely has the sticker.
