Strut brace for a e30 325ic???

[TheMooseInNam]

A mechanic recommended I fit a strut brace to my car. Has anyone fitted a strut brace to a 325i convertible? Will a standard coupe strut brace fit. Can anyone recommend where I could locate a reasonably priced one?

Got a strut brace off ebay for my 325i cab for Ԛ£35 delivered from the germany, it has tighten up the cab and it has stiffened her up alot

the coupe touring abd cab are all the same on the strut braces fella

here's a pic of my engine bay

opinion is divided on this one

there is already extra strengthening on the cab (do a search!), and adding a strut brace IMHO is a waste of money

unless you are going racing on a track - even then, you'd be better off doing a dozen other upgrades first

ps don't forget Cliffybabe just likes chrome - anything in chrome ( how are your chrome seat-covers?)

I got one ...i think it makes a difference ...can't swear though


hey cliffeybabe...get that washer bottle cleaned....takes the shine off the engine bay

ive also got one on my cab, to be honest, didnt feel any difference at all, but looks good under the bonnet!!
Cliffybabe.... wheres the 6 branch?????

It depends with one you get. The one in the pic below is the best one for the e30 and will make a diffrence on a cab you will get less front end shake.
