Well made strut brace.

Happened on this e-bay site for a product while searching parts for an E86 M and as I looked at the photos to promote the Strut Brace was - MY CAR !

They did ask for a pic once installed and it is pretty slick - maybe should send another one with the ESS installed

NO - thats added to the PIC and the one on the left of the picture on the top of the cross bar I just stuck on - decal.

Well made but it takes more than 5 minutes - in fact I had to kneel on the middle to get one of the bolts through on one side !

Very light - but stiff and strong

Should work well - it sure as hell hard to keep the aluminum shiny - can you powder coat them - you would also probably have to use a higher heat paint.

Is that price for the full 3 point or just the cross bar? It looks good, and I have been torn on what strut brave to go with haha

That main bar doesn't fit right. I kept the side braces and added a turner main bar. Much better fitment with one

My main bar fit but as i has tucked my wheels in a little bit at the top I had to kneel on the main bar to get it to click into place - little bit of wiggling but it ended up fine and I have to take it off to access the manifold and parts of the supercharger.
