Thought it would be interesting to find out what are peoples opinions on fitting a strut brace to an E30?

What are the Pros and What are the Cons?

Seems to be mixed opinions from what I've read. General opinion is that they're cosmetic, and really need to push the car to feel the real benefits of having one fitted.

I'm buying one though!! :P

I put a strut brace on my cab (Sparco brace) and it has to be the best Ԛ£ for Ԛ£ mod I've done.

The before and after is sooooo noticable, and the car drives much better.

But, whether this is true for other E30's - no idea.

What do you guys notice? Because you have just said noticed a difference, do you mean the engine bay looks better? is that the difference you notice?

:eek:
