Cross Brace for your E30

[ejnight]

Doesn't your m42 oil pan hang lower than a cross brace anyway? I was looking under my vert a few days ago and the m20 pan hangs lower than my cross brace and the m42 pan is even lower.

It does, and the Cross brace will not be lower than the pan. With the skid plate and Cross brace in plate you are safe.

Yes is the same part # and Price.

Yes is the same part # and Price.

So if its the same part # as before how do I tell if I am getting the one that will work with the offset CAB? I am planing on adding the M3 bushings to my cabrio, but want to make sure that I get a cross brace that will work.

Good question. I don't make the old style any more. All braces are the new ones.

I installed mine last weekend and it looks great!

FYI for those running it with the Ireland Engineering 22mm front swaybar: The sway bar runs in to the x-brace when the suspension is loaded. To get around this I had to space the x-brace down in the front (at the steering rack) about 12mm (1/2") using a longer shoulder bolt and some washers.

Uh oh...

I'm running their 25mm front bar and THR cabs. Sounds like even with the new design I might have problems. :(

I have there 25mm and I'm clear.:)

[E30Nova]

Oh, well nevermind then lol.

I'll definitely be getting one when I have money. ;)

Yes the 25mm will clear the brace. For some reason the 22mm has more of a bow in it than the 25mm, causing the interference problem.

Hmm i wanted to put M3 offsets on my vert soon so does that mean i need to buy a new one or can I just modify mine?
