Hey,

Has anyone used a Sparco Strut tower brace? I saw one and I was just wondering if anyone has ever used one on their ti. If so it does it fit right in with out any problems (such as blocking the throttle or anything else in that area).

Thanks,
Scotty

Yeah, I saw that one on ebay that is why I was asking. He says it is for 325, 328, M3 and then he says that it will fit all 3 series. I emailed him to find out if it will work on the ti's. I will let you know if it works on ti's.

I got a email back he said he didnt know. So I called Sparco in California and they said that there is a 4 cylinder strut bar that they make. It cost $219.99. The one on ebay is the 6 cylinder strut tower brace.
I knew the difference between the 6 cylinder and the 4 cylinder braces but the pictures he shows on ebay looks like it would work because it does curve back like the other 4 cylinder strut tower braces.
