After looking at Ireland Engineering's site and seeing this:
"IMPORTANT! The BMW factory published body specification shows the distance between the strut towers should be 1002.2mm +-2mm (39.5"), measured from center to center (at the strut bearing opening in the inner fenders) - and the bar we manufacture is 1002.2mm, the published spec. However; we have found many cars (ranged across all E30 years and models) that measure about 980mm (38.75")... there is no published factory documentation of any difference in the body dimensions. We suggest you measure your car to ensure that our brace will work without modification. We no long make the shorter 980mm bar."
I found out I have the non published 980mm size. Does anyone have this size brace for sale? Looking for a solid steel type, such as Sparco or IE, not one with hinges or alum.
Thanks!
