4. Strut Bar
 
So who else is interested in doing a custom 4 point strut bar? I dont remember how much harold said it will be but its not more than $200. Also, i think harold said the guy wont be back until the beg or end of february. Plenty of time to save up. So who else wants one?

What is a 4 point strut bar?
Ties to the towers and chassis?

I don't think strut braces really do much on our cars. The x-brace will help you a LOT more than a strut brace will.

True but ppl still buy strut bars anyway. A 4. will be better and itll cost the same so why not :smile:

Who's this guy? Does he do these kinds of things often? It'd be interesting to see if he has any engineering background to ensure it's actually functional and not just for decoration.

Sorry to sound so skeptical, just want to lay out the obvious.

According to lazoh he builds a lot of custom things for race purposes. Like roll cages and stuff like that. Lazoh knows the guy, not me. Lazoh, this is the same guy that did your roll cage right?

dude the brace is going to cost like 350- 400 each and thats if he feels like makeing them hes really busy with the E30 race cars also i buy one nah i already have one. Hugo do you still want to buy one? I might be selling mine for around 250 maybe i dont know yet

I can see a brace that ties to the chassis as being useful. Anything else is just eye candy.

LoL you were going to buy one but decided not to in the same post really quickly. You could have just back spaced :tongue:

Well, i want to talk to harold and the guy first and see what happens.

This guy only makes custom race fabrications, he is not the guy that di my roll cage but he does a lot of fabrications for Ireland Engineering. He has a 2002 with the 4 point strut brace and according to a few people this type of set-up helps. I hope he comes trough for us since he is very busy and the 4 point is a small job for him at $200.00. I will keep you posted HuGo.

I sure hope you guys buy the factory x-brace first, then do this stuff.

Exactly, the x-brace is the single best suspension mod you can do to any non-vert e36.
