OMP apparently makes a Miata front strut tower brace that is solid (except for a preload coupling). They specify that it is for NB's, but is there any reason an NB brace wouldnt fit my 1990? Ive heard factory NB braces will fit earlier models without any problems, what gives?

I really want a brace without swivel joints, so either this or a factory NB brace would fit the bill nicely.

I have the 99 Sport shock tower brace on my 91. Fits w/o any issues.

Hey Alan...you got a line on those things? I'd like to find one to replace my eBay bar sometime or another.

Likewise on the OEM NB brace. $300 from the dealer aint gonna do it for me...

Yeah, an NB 99-00 brace works fine on any NA, including mine '94 with the bulky ass ABS unit on the passenger side. I found mine on e-bay for cheap $'s.
So check e-bay, and try the two below sellers. I've dealt with both personally, and they have a lot of miata parts, at usually reasonable prices.

Bryan and m42, I picked mine up on Ebay for around $110 iirc. Tom and TPG has them for $150 right now. I know, it's pricey, but its a great bar, imo. Only downside (and I think I've stated this before) is it raised the harmonic pitch (or vibration range or something) from 65mph to about 72mph. Its still nothing major, but I did like the improvement in steering directness.
