Strut Brace for 2007 Z4M Coupe??

Cannot find a strut brace for a e86 z4m in Bimmerworld or Turner Motorsports. Any suggestion on where I can buy one?

Thanks.

Here's the Turner E85/86 strut brace. Looks like you can catch a pretty good sale!

Here's the Strong Strut:

OEM bmw brace

Thanks for the info. Turner has sold out the brace, otherwise would have been a good buy. BTW, BMW has a factory brace, 51-71-0-305-114 for the Z4M. Are there any review on it and how does it compare to the Strong Strut?

BMW engineers gave the Z4M a trianglated brace for the shock towers by tying in the fender rail and the firewall with the diagonal brace. Far superior to a bent bar going over the engine. So a strut bar will do nothing.

So which one is better? They're for underhood bling. Which one do you like the look of?

Strut Brace for 2007 Z4M Coupe

I have the eibachs and I have the sms strut brace. It really helped alot plus the tubular design of the sms one is better than the sps one imo. Install of the brace is like 10 min.
