Question: Could you use two 2-point bars? One from each tower to the cowl? The two connection points don't have to be the strut towers do they?'05 STi
Obfuscation usually requires a lot more words than if you simply focus on fundamental principles, so I’m not at all surprised by the loquaciousness of liberals.

Re: Strut braces
Okay, so what do you BMW people know about strut braces?
-Turner Motorsport Carbon Fiber E46 strut brace $399.95
-Racing Dynamics front strut brace (aluminum) - $229.95
-UUC Strutbarbarian - $369 aluminum, $495 magnesium
-Dinan aluminum/carbon fiber strut brace - $449
I may have missed some. Thoughts? I'm obviously leaning toward the RD...
update I just noticed some might prevent adjusting of my Konis. d'oh! That would rule out the UUC anyway.
I don't know if it's any good, but this one on eBay appears to not cover the struts.Last edited by Redwood; 11-17-2005, 02:27 PM.-Sean Martin

Seriously - it's a freagin stick of tubing between the strut towers. NO MOVING PARTS. We can make one. I've made them before - not hard.
Also, if you pay over $100 for a cold air I will KEEL you!
EDIT: just noticed the plethora of materials for strut braces you listed. CRIPES! CF? Aluminum? MAGNESIUM??? BMW tuners are fookin CLOWNS. Even using steel tubing you are talking *less than 3-4 pounds*. Using anything else is purly bling-aficial.
