Garagistic E30 front strut bars (M42 e30 compatible)

[iignite]

any updates with the x-brace working with the sway bar spacers? Ill grab a front bar regardless, figured I would buy both if they work.

[garagistic]

would you consider offering any other powdercoat colors such as Grey?

Option added for now. If there is not enough interest the order will default to black.

Working on this!

Any picture of these installed on all the test cars? Also will this fit the M60 with the oem coolant tank on the top backside of the engine?

We will try to get a m60 car with the tank to test for you.

Ya I'd be interested in grey depending on shade as I have a lachhsilber. At the end of the day Black always works but I'll keep an eye on the thread to see what happens with color options. Thanks

Grey has been added. We will get a sample of it as well.

In for a strut bar. Pm'd regarding an x-brace/strut bar combo

M42 people!

We tested this version of the bar on three m42 cars. One cleared manifold. It touched the manifold on another. The last car had frame damage so the bar did not fit at all. The two that it bolted onto had diffrent age motor mounts which could be why there is a variance. So that is inconclusive.

But we have a solution. We will be making an m42 specific bar. It can be found below.

Below is the picture where it barely clears.

We need an m30 car to confirm fitment! Who can stop by the shop?

Does it clear the cruise control cable? The SPARCO one does not

I would also recommend with a default color. The bar looks unfinished.

Yes it does clear (barely). Pictures will be up in a few. Once the pre-order is done there will be a default powder coating color. But to get it at this price point, it will need to be without a finish.

I have an M30 car here at the house that I can test fit if you ship one out to me. I also have a IE bar (which is what yours looks like, aka sparco) that I can test fit and give you pictures/measurements if you'd like.
