*sic 1 Report post Posted March 2, 2004 i really recommend a strut brace, you notice it like you notice a dirty lady walking by... seriouslt the stiffening of the chassis is the key im telling ya.. well that and good suspension.. and a good engine.. and drive line.. yea anyways get one dude its worth it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Spargo Report post Posted March 3, 2004 There's a 4dr M325i in Chch with one Tim, had it in since last July. I think it may have been a Z4 one though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Spargo Report post Posted March 3, 2004 Is this the one Tim? Do you find it makes much of a difference, being of a hinged design? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dave 2 Report post Posted March 3, 2004 Is this the one Tim? Do you find it makes much of a difference, being of a hinged design? yeah, anyone care to explain the reson they have hinges? doesnt that just bend when it should be providing rigidness?

Guest Andrew Report post Posted March 3, 2004 yeah, anyone care to explain the reson they have hinges? doesnt that just bend when it should be providing rigidness? I've never had much faith in the one with hinges.. if you look at the direction the tension is in - it may bend upwards or downwards.. I'm not sure..

Killa B 0 Report post Posted March 3, 2004 I spoke to the guy at FBI racing yesterday who's bringing in the strut braces and they wont be here till the end of march, he's bringing in some for the e36's too, i think he said it'l be about $130 for the front one for my 36, the one on display looked pretty rough tho, dont know if they'll all be like that or not ?

Guest hizza bizza Report post Posted March 3, 2004 RB26DETT ??, If thats the case I'd have to come down and slap you, that'd be insane haha. But seriously I reckon a sr20det would be pretty mean, fit nice and snug into the 4 cylinder bmw bay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
