BIMMERPOST / Classifieds

None

Item Interest
The group buy has started -- please refer to this link for terms and pricing:

I'm working with STRONG-STRUT to offer a group buy discount to us, but first need to put out a feeler to gauge interest.

STRONG-STRUT has a 100% satisfaction guarantee and the powder coated finish has a 2-yr warranty. You'll also be pleased to know that the alloy strut only weighs 4.5 lbs.

NOTE: this is just a FEELER and not a commitment to purchase!

For Additional Information
Front Strong-Strut (Steel & Alloy Versions)
  • A properly engineered shock tower strut reduces or eliminates the chassis and shock tower flex that occurs during hard cornering and driving over uneven, bumpy surfaces. This is a common characteristic of open top vehicles. The Strong-Strut contributes significantly to the structural integrity of the car, and improves drivability by maintaining the proper wheel camber and suspension geometry.
  • It also provides a much "tighter" and "robust" chassis feel over bumpy roads. Even under ideal road conditions, Strong-Strut equipped cars feel and drive better. Virtually all the racing BMW sedans and coupes are strut bar equipped - quite a testimonial considering these cars are already quite rigid.
  • The Strong-Strut is designed and built to higher quality standards with superior materials and offered at a much lower price than the competitive products and sets a new standard in design and value.
  • The Strong-Strut is available for all four- and six-cylinder BMW Z3 Roadsters and all E 36 & M3 (E36) series, all E-46, E38 (seven series) and the Z4. Guaranteed for the life of the car against fracture or failure.
  • The Strong-Strut is designed to appear as original manufacturers equipment, not like an added on aftermarket accessory.

After running the Ultimate Pedals group buy a few months ago, I am hoping this one will generate more interest in comparison

This is just a "feeler" and not a commitment to buy anything yet. Discount will be determined after the vendor knows how much interest there is. If interested, please provide the information that's requested. Thanks.

^ front strut is supposed to make turn quicker/sharper. Everyone with a strut thinks its an improvement over stock handling.
But your right, usually if you stiffen up the front you will get more under steer.

I've had them on other cars and my old M roady (OE bar)

I never found them to cause more understeer.
Their function is to increase chassis rigidity not stiffness. (like springs etc)
They help to maintain correct steering geometry which improves feel, feedback and a more consistent tire patch.
