    FS: custom rear tower brace(3pt)

    I made this rear tower brace awhile ago, now I am building a full weld in cage that goes to the front and rear towers. So no need for this anymore.
    Comes with all needed hardware and underside mounting plate. It will need holes drilled!

    I will grind off the "F34R" backwards 4 and repaint it black or leave it raw.

    250.00 obo you cover shipping and PP fees. I will be at Bimmerfest on the 25th in MD, I will bring it and help install it!

    DOES NOT come with the GC race shock mounts. DON'T ASK NOT FS

    I searched for prices close to what I made, Mason seems to be the only one offering this style.

    You will need to buy BOTH
    BMW E30 3 Piece Rear Strut Bar(300.00)
    &
    BMW E30 Floor plate differential mount support assembly($225.00)

    So as you can see this is alot less than the Mason.

          How big of an improvement did you notice from installing this? and also, what would shipping to 33647 be?

            The biggest improvement would be for Autox and track days. For daily use I don't see the reason for this over let's say a shock to shock single bar IE: What White325is sells or those ebay ones.

            This one mounts to the shocks, the tower sides and sandwiching from the underside of the floor to the brace foot. It uses a thick plate on the underside that the foot bolts to. I LOVED this brace, I never used it with my track car but I did in the daily driver(H&R race, Bilstein sports). I noticed it from doing a pass at autox with it in and with it out. I used to have the single bar shock to shock bar before I made this one.

            I did no bar, then the single bar then my bar, the single you could notice a bit, but this one really sucked both sides tight. It is really up to what you plan to use your e30 for. Really thinking this is meant for autox guys that don't need a cage. IMO tracking NEEDS a cage, seen too many crashes at Watkins Glen International to not build one.

              Ah okay. I would eventually like to start autox-ing my soon but my mentality has always been that if I might need something later and find a deal on it now, might as well get it. It kinda leads to spending unnecessary money, but I want to enjoy my car.

                Same boat man, that is why I am building the cage. Not tracking right now but I will be in a year.
