Posts: 93 | Why Buy MASON BARS? We have found that Mason Engineering Strut Tower Braces to be the best fitting, most detailed bars in the industry. All stamping, tube bending, and welding is done in their state of the art manufacturing facility in California. Each bar is hand fabricated in house to exact tolerances for exceptional fit and chassis stiffening. The customer has an option of what material is used, 6061T6 aluminum alloy, and carbon steel. Alloy is the typical choice based on its lightness and attractive brushed finish. Carbon steel braces are powder coated in satin black. The adjustable bars are suggested on cars having encountered front end collisions for proper fit. 6061T6 aluminum alloy will come in a brushed raw finish. Carbon Steel will come in a powder coated satin black. These Mason strut tower braces greatly strengthens chassis torsional rigidity - tightens up those aging unibodies for fewer squeaks, less chassis flex, tighter steering feel, reduced camber loss under hard cornering, and improves transient response as well. A big secondary benefit of any properly made strut brace is strengthening of the weak strut tower sheet metal that plagues many modern BMWs. Prevent stress cracks and warping at this critical location. This design allows for full access to adjustable struts and camber/caster plates. Mason Engineering bars are made to order by hand requiring about two week lead time! | | | 02-08-2011, 07:37 PM | #10 | Member Join Date: Dec 2010 Location: Cali.

John used my 97 ti as a test bed to complete the design so the fit is perfect for the 4-cyl ti. It is not the flashiest bar in the world, but you cannot beat its structural integrity and the bar is primarily a functional element. It is designed to fit the ti and brace the strut towers. It does both exceptionally well. | | | 02-09-2011, 01:29 AM | #14 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2005 Location: PA Posts: 1,906 | Will it fit 6 cylinder ti's? __________________ | | | 02-09-2011, 01:36 AM | #15 | Member Join Date: Dec 2010 Location: Cali.
