Suspension Cross-Brace

I felt a noticible difference on my Z4MR. Those with Z4MC's reported little to no difference likely since the coupe is already twice as rigid as the roadster.
 
I'm getting ready to put one on my 07, 3.0Si coupe. Only problem is, it might not work--the brace will go directly over the oil filler cap (not too much trouble as the change intervals are long and you don't have to add oil very often) but the clearance over the air intake tube (just past the filter)is going to be VERY tight. I don't think I'll put those black caps on the bolt heads though--don't want them coming off in the engine bay.....

Sure looks nice, though. :thumbsup:
 
as said really not much difference at all street wise unless ur going nuts, i did my first trackday with this brace last week in my z4mr and at on the limit handling i 100% noticed a difference, i do mean the ragged edge here, tbh i wouldnt buy this mod if i wasnt intending track work!

I agree, I'm going to take mine off and put it on my 3 series, should be a better difference..

After having mine installed for all of 2 days. IMO it has reduced tramlining a good bit for my roadster. Now on spots where I used to feel a tug on the wheel I don't feel a thing except a slight bump. I can't speak on cornering really, not too many curves close by. Besides as others have said, the general rule is you have to be pushing it to feel it in the corners. But hey, track day come April 11th! Well provided my brakes come in..... :?
 
Hi guys,

just been reading this thread and was wandering where the best place in the UK to buy a strut brace from would be?

Many thanks

Aebous - Glad to hear you like the results so far :D
I found pretty much the same thing, the car feels a little more settled for street driving especially on rough roads. Cornering for track days and other forms of spirited driving the car does feel a little more stable on turn in.

How about the Armadillo and Strut Brace Warehouse,

The place for all of your Armadillo and Strut Brace needs.

Don't have their number but think they are at Humpty dumperty Purley Way Croydon.
