my_e36 43 Report post Posted May 6, 2005 Wouldn't be better to get X-brace for under-body? It doesn't look as cool, but they are realy good for improving stiffness of the chassic. Pic is the Genuine BMW ones for e36. (standard on convertible and M3) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dnz 0 Report post Posted May 7, 2005 http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showt...ighlight=xbrace I dont think xbrace is gonna help much, might just be better to go with strut bar... Quite a few replies about there not being a difference if you got aftermarket suspension.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
