Hi i am planning to buy this mason strut brace specifically for Z4M coupe:

http://www.harrisonmotorsports.com/m...-bmw-z4-m.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://<a href="http://www.harrisonm...-z4-m.html</a>

It says on the website that the measurements is 42.6 across from center to center hole of the tower.

I measured my front towers from center to center and it is 41.5; would you guys think this will fit? What are your tower measurements?

Thanks in advance

It was kinda hard to measure but my Mcoupe is about 40 1/2" center to center. I have Strong Strut and I really like the way it looks. I haven't seen many people with the Mason brace so I can't comment.
Where in the Bay Area are you?

Make sure you can take it on an off without getting an alignment. Otherwise you really screw yourself over for valve adjustments, etc.

You should not have to get an alignment done if you park the car on level surface and not moving anything while the nuts are removed from the struts (for installation or removal)

^This. The strut position is held via friction when the car is on the ground. Worst case, mark or photo the position before the install.
