Try this link, same company.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BMW-E30-all-engin ... dZViewItem

They knock them out at £48.99 including postage from Belgium.

They also do some rather tasty stainless manifolds for a reasonable £250 and some nice suspension set ups.

No assosication with seller, Dr.Evil, Brussels or anything else from Belgium.

Did you jack the car up to fit it? you need to take all the load off the suspension turrets or it will not bolt straight on, they flex under the weight of the car and eaven more when you add load by cornering hard, thats why strut braces came to be in the first place.

Our suspension kit is gas on oil.

Last week I sold 2-3 kits at the zone, maybe the buyers can put their experience on the zone after fitting and testing

I bought the hottunung alloy strut brace and I'm sorry to say I was not impressed with the item. I felt that the grade of aluminum was too soft as the thing could easily be flexed by hand, that is of course quite a subjective point. More serious was how poorly fitting it was, there was NO WAY that it would fit without redrilling to shorten it almost an inch in total. I put this down to my dodgy iS but since I've bought the Sparco M3 brace, this fitted so snuggly that I can only conclude the hottuning brace was at fault.

Having said that. As a company hottuning are delightful to deal with, a friendly and responsive service

Arrived Tuesday, and fitted very easily, my only concern is the stiffness, where they adjust in the middle is a significant weak spot, and it flexes quite a lot. These would be a lot better if they were made from mild steel. After only about 10 miles of gentle driving the plates are deforming already.

If you are after a strut brace for a track car, then I wouldn't buy one of these, but on the road it would be ok I think.

It is quite a nice addition to the engine bay though :cool:

I bought a Hottuning Strut Brace from a fellow Zoner, the fitting was poor i'm afraid i had to flex the shite out of the brace just to get it to fit, having said that it uber tight so i assume this should only make the shell more stiff.

If you were able to flex the brace then it will be doing nothing for the shell rigidity
