There are not many if any available for the N20 engines...primarily because the E89 already is heavily strutted both in the engine bay and underneath tying the front suspension to the body with two long struts running aft..

The view from several people on various forums was that N20 variants didn't benefit from strut braces, apart from looking cool...

Strut braces are always a contentious topic when it comes to improvements in handling performance and I'm not going to argue I could truly feel any handling benefits on my Z. However, it looks good and definitely reduced some dash creaking so that's 120 quid well spent to me :thumbsup:

No sorry, had a quick look on ebay and they don't appear to sell it anymore. You could try direct from the manufacturer?

Ultraracing are based in Malaysia but you’ll probably find they have local reps in most countries around the world

I contacted them through their Facebook page and they pointed me in the right direction
