Anybody know of this strut brace?

dyerkes · 04-03-2012, 09:28 PM

I was searching the web tonight and came across this Z4 strut brace and I was wondering if anybody has one of these?

Thanks,
David

It's done, this is the prototype, almost identical to final piece.

Nice work! Totally agree with Beedub. I wish I'd known this was coming before ordering the Rogue. Oh well.

Like Beedub says, bolts are one time use on the firewall. However, that's for some build dates only (mid 06 forward according to BMW, but mine is a 12/06 build and has old style nuts, not bolts). See this post for a view of both types. Newer type bolts require torque and then angle torque. New bolts are ~12 dollars IIRC.

PM me with anticipated pricing and weight please

inTgr8r · 04-18-2012, 12:27 PM

wow... now that's a chassis brace, nice work!

Beedub · 04-18-2012, 12:52 PM

wahoooooo.... now were talking......

my car also has the nuts as well so nice and easy to swap out!!!

tikamak · 04-19-2012, 06:47 AM

How will this affect the handling of the car in contrast to using the OEM firewall braces and strut bar?

taking into account that you are using the stock suspension vs KW V3 (or some other suspension)
