New mod>>Sparco Strut Bar<<

Sorry for the poor quality, here's a few pics of the Sparco
bar I bought from a recent group buy, dropped in super easy,
I jacked up under the cross member and it dropped right in.

That is one nice looking Strut Brace dude

What wheels have you got on your ride dude?? My brother has an e30 too and he just loves the rimz on your car....

Looks good, have you noticed any difference in the way the car drives/handles with the strut bar on?

Thanks, wheels are Cr7's.

I haven't had the chance to push the car yet because it's been raining
for almost two weeks straight but I did notice on bumps the car doesn't
flex anymore.

Pal318is, do you have any better shots of your side skirts? If you do, could you post them or send me a few to egktwo@yahoo.com?

That engine bay is sweet

By far the best brace for the front money can buy!

But it wont fit 318is cars or M3s without modifications.

what sort of mods for an IS?

would a weichers be a direct fit?

You would need to knock the underside of it to clear the inlet manifold.

I just had to remove the cruise control cable, installed the bar, reinstalled
the cable, many people have fitment issues with this bar, mostly being too long due to sagging strut towers, I've seen some off as much as
1.5" too long

I had to move my clutch pot and grind a bit out to fit around the fuse box.
