no weld 325i to m3 front sway bar conversion

[reelizmpro]

To be fair, I have seen aftermarket coilovers use an adjustable mount that clamps on similar to this although MUCH more beefier. Your bracket probably won't hold up over time with spirited driving. The stock metal ears on the M3 struts are barely adequate. That's why so many people reinforce them.

...although MUCH more beefier.

those are also attached to the threaded portion of the strut body, so it's not going to slide up and down on the tube like his fence post clamp.

First page of this thread had me spewing coffee all over the keyboard. Thanks guys, now I'll never get work done.

But seriously, why can't you just get some one to weld a tab on to the strut. In the grand scheme of things, it's probably one of the easiest things you could modify on the car that requires a welder.

Heck, I do it for someone for the price of a sixer of "good" beer.

yea funny ) -i already have the weld on tabs 20 bucks on gargastic -im going to need welding on exhaust sway bar re-enforcment front and back - so figure i will do it all at once - oh btw its made out of 1/8th inch x 1 inch flat stock - just inspected them so far so good - im actually happy with the performance result

btw guys on the f150 forum would love it, ..... lol .......just sayin.....

[rommaster2]

To be fair guys on the f150 forums also use bailing wire for a number of things ;D

How so ?

[george graves]

My only question is....Is this tread going to die? Or are we starting a group buy? What's going on here???? Come on people.

;)

lets review so one guy insinuates that im looking for attention (including this thread i have 38 posts in 5 months) - and the other guy (18,000 posts) is wondering when this thread will die -

[digger]

the concept is ok but the execution is not great, seems like proof of concept though. maybe a market exists for bolt on attachment as it beats the hell out welding unless youre doing a coil over conversion already

[noahsense]

How so ?

Achtung=Danger. That execution = danger.

[george graves]

I always assumed the word was meant to convey "attention" - but either way OP delivers.

[achtung-e30]

yea i would prefer a proper adjustable strut clamp to a weld on tab and adjustable links

hey do the struts have to be removed in order to weld tabs ? im wondering if the strut could be heat damaged from welding on housing


wait.... u mean achtung means danger ?.... wow... im cooler than i thought )
