    Bmw e30 ac schnitzer strut brace

    I plan to install ac schnitzer strut brace on my e30 coupe but as per photo that the center bar seems longer approx 2 cm ...any one can inform me what to do? This car never have an bad accident before... is this e30 have 2 different strut center length?

    Jack up one corner of the car, that will help spread the towers apart. It's supposed to be slightly long in order to preload the chassis
    Drive it hard. Maintain it well.

      I'd think that jacking up one corner of the car would cause the body to bow inwards, making it closer. Wouldn't jacking it up in the middle, by the subframe / oil pan + block of wood cause the sides to droop? That might be enough.

                    Remove the brace from the top mounts, then install the center section of the brace. Jack up the front end so both wheels are off the ground with the top nuts removed then see if you can get the complete bar on little by little both sides at the same time.
