Need some real world experience on this BMW performance strut brace

Does it do anything at all for you? Or does it just look cool

neoduffer · 06-15-2011, 07:35 PM

people have been opting for the M3 brace instead

That said, does this contraption actually enhance your driving experience at all? I don't plan on taking curves at 100mph or pull Gs or anything.

Just an something to point at when you decide to pop your hood at a car meet.

+1 The M3 strut brace was a huge improvement and the front end feels alot more planted

The suspension on my car was already heavily modded when I installed the strut brace but I could clearly notice the improvement.

Yea, good call. I don't know how good they'll be with a fairly stock xi coupe setup though. Might save my beans for a complete Eibach coilover conversion someday
