The front strut brace is really worth the money...
And personally I think it's better than the Hartge twin tube brace I was using for a couple of months...

I'd stay in riverside and commute if it were me. I hear the property out there has just gotten insane. A friend of mine bought a nice townhouse in Fullerton last August for $299K, and one exactly like it across the driveway sold last week for $420K (even after they found the old man dead and half eaten by his cats) :shock: :shock: I told him, SELL SELL SELL!!!!!!!!! But then he said it'd cost him $500K to buy one as nice as his elsewhere in Fullerton.

Personally i dont think a strut brace is needed in the E30 as there have been tests done with micro meters and the conclusion is that the E30 chase is strong and does not flex enough for the driver to notice a difference, and the main reason for a Strut brace is to reduce camber on the front wheels during a sharp corner, but i didn’t notice anything on my car. Also people who stick them on the back just make me laugh, so my point is that its a waste of money or in your case 80$

Really???? your chassis must be the strongest ever that left the assembly line... 8)

Seriously, I have personally come accross 2 E30's with slightly out of shape strut tower... Tried fitting the strut brace but the holes are off by 1cm.. It's not the strut brace, it's the tower collapsed inward.... (confirmed by the wheels alignment machine)
Moral of the story is: putting the strut brace helps to keep the 2 towers in its place...

And I do notice a lot of difference during hard cornering with and without the strut brace... Now that I gotten used to driving with one, I don't tihink I can drive the same way without one... The car would definitely understeer like mad in the first corner I would take....

As for the rear strut brace, the difference in handling is not that great, but still feel it at fast and tight corners. The rear feels more planted with the strut brace.
And the rear does not crash down that much when going over big speed humps (We have a lot of these speed humps here in Malaysia, cos we got lots of crazy buggers who love driving fast, even in residential areas)

Apart from that, there's also less rattles from the rear. Confirmed by a few fellow E30 members who installed it...

Sounds like Ove's theory from BEN board. Anyway not gonna beat the subject into ground but welcome to R3V. Looks like a nice 318iS you have there.

I noticed a HUGE difference with my front strut brace. it helped with roll, transitions and turn in. the rear strut brace mainly supports the shock mounts, otherwise it just looks pretty. but hey for $55 shipped I couldn't pass it up. :)
