I'm a big fan of 3M DP-420 (it's also available in black). I don't recommend it for this application. It's a great adhesive with really good peel strength, but those properties require it to be kind of soft and creep under continuous load(bolt clamp). I recommend a metal filled epoxy like JB weld. It's cheaper and more readily available and should have much less creep.
If you want something a little better you can spring for the titanium filled "repair" epoxy from Devcon. |

Update
I just did this reinforcement this weekend.
When you get into it, you can see why these fail. The gauge of metal used is very thin. They rely on putting a profile on the metal to add strength (it's not a flat surface) This makes it more suitable to expoy because it fills the profile under the flat reinforcement plate. After getting into it, I agree with above, something like JB weld would work just fine. I upgraded to the H&R ARBs as well so we'll see how these stand up.

Bump, does anyone know if the measurements provided here are the same for a non-M (3.0si)? I assume they are because both M and non-M share the same p/n 31351094552 for support bracket #3 in diagram below:

I'm sure they would be the same.
I can't see then making the frame different just for the M.

Frame mounting points are the same between Si and M as inTgr8r points out.

No, most of the info is contained in this thread.
I think I have a few pics, I'll see if I can dig them up for a DIY thread. As an update, after several years and many track days, the plates are still holding strong with no signs of stress fractures.

I completed a set, and they are great! If anyone is interested, I can make you a set for $35 shipped. Made with 3/16" steel. You can epoxy it on, or weld it on the choice is yours. I will send it to you as bare metal, 2 plates only. If you like, I can also add 4 new sway bar self locking OEM nuts and 2 tubes of loctite metal epoxy as a kit and sell for $55 shipped. I will be making them first to pay first to get and will produce a unlimited amount needed. Same week fabrication and shipping!! Can either PM me or make a list here, and PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU WANT THE PLATES ONLY OR THE KIT. I will also be posting this on the classifieds. Thank you!
(Please note I am not a master fabricator or what not, so it will not be a laser cut perfect piece. I will obviously sand the edges down and get it to be as smooth and fitting as possible) Last edited by Z4M_Coupe; 12-10-2019 at 09:29 PM.. |

Interesting thread. My '05 3.0i is tracked regularly and I assumed this problem was only on M's because of the larger diameter front ARB's either stock or aftermarket. I'm running the stock 24mm.
However, a year or two ago I broke a support clamp on the right front. Didn't notice any issue with the frame but I see the support clamp is identical between my car and the M. Wonder if I'm generating enough stress that the issue should be addressed? |
