Yeah i was thinking of going with the delrin bushes too. Do they have installation markings on them to get equal caster for both sides?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BMRBOI 8 Report post Posted August 17, 2010 I used OE BMW ones they were a reasonable price. I would not bother with the Ultra racing bar if you are expecting it to make a difference. I have one on my E39 just to tidy up the strut towers as I have adjustable camber plates in it. I could not perceive any benefit whereas the Genuine M3 one on my E36 makes an very detectable difference. Get a dealer or BMW mech to do the bushes there is a strict procedure to follow. Yeah i have not noticed any gains from the strut brace, most noticeable gains came from the sway bar upgrade and the shocks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
