Ultra Racing Rear Brace

tsnellva · 07-22-2015, 10:55 AM

I had the pleasure of running over some metal on the highway the other day and after doing an inspection of the under side of my car I noticed that I had broken the passenger rear brace. Always looking to improve the roadster and since I had to spend some money to repair the rear brace I came accros the Ultra Racing Rear Brace. Looks like a nice unit but was looking for somone that had actually installed the brace to get their feed back and also is the weight of the brace. Not sure I want to add 30 pounds to the rear of the car for little or no improvement to handling.

The Z4 is one of the stiffest chassis BMW has designed so you're not likely to see much if any noticeable difference in street driving.

^ I agree, stick with the OE brace.
That Ultra brace is also lower and more exposed at the mid point mounts.
