    I made a lower chassis cross brace.

    Well most of you know about the Skid plates I make for the E30's. I picked up another e30 this winter. It is a vert, so I started looking in to performance parts for it. I saw the x brace that BMW made for the e36 and thought I should make one for My new car. its not a copy but a totally new design. It took a few proto's to get it right. I feel this is a very well thought out piece. It is flush with my skid plate. is very strong but still very light. let me know what you think.

              cool. I say grade 8 fasteners would be a good addition to the "kit". I like the design.

                  There are a lot of them out there. If I thought I could make one better than what was out there I might give it a shot. We make sway bars for a lot of performance cars. There are again, a lot of people are importing these and they are cheap as some have found out. I might look at doing a set for the E30's

                        This was a first run. I will have to do a BOM to set a price, if there is some real interest in the brace.
