ORIGINAL:

BMW e30 Lower X Brace a joint R&D project of Entwicklung Dreißig Zen and Mason Engineering.

We have just finished testing and have release these prototype images of the e30 lower X Brace (shown here on one of our test cars). In testing we addressed and resolved some clearance issues (both ground and machine) and the balance of weight to strength concerns addressed.

The final unit is of a larger diameter tube (lighter weight yet just as strong in tension and compression) and have additional strategically placed gusseting and supports. The final product with specs will appear on our site soon and possibly will go into production as soon as early May.







Added: 12 April




Just one question left...What color should they be?

[Jand3rson]

I voted red, because the new sways I'm getting will also be red.

Estimated price?

[E30SPDFRK]

I like em unpainted.

[z31maniac]

I voted Hot Pink.

They will offset the red Eibach adj sways nicely.

Seriously.

I'll post the price and the images of the final product here the minute I get the nod from the Paper Pushers and the Bean Counters.

I can tell you that the final brace looks...well… downright sexy. (It will be affordable too)

[z31maniac]

Could I still get mine in hot pink?

Seriously.

Price? I vote RED. /thread

BLACK. I would Seriously be considering it if available in BLACK POWDER COAT. Powdercoat would be an extremely logical finish considering the location of the part.

as of just lately i was considering trying to retrofit an e36 Xbrace i have laying around onto the e30 chassis.

you guys produce a nice matching (black powdercoated?) front and rear tower braces as well i would be interested in a package deal. depending on the profiles of the rear tower brace as well as finish options (all matching powdercoated black?)

[elsabor67]

That is nice. I vote red too.

If the price is around that of the e36 x-brace that would be sweet. As you can add an e36 x-brace to an e30, but you loose a good bit of ground clearance. I had on on my e30, but took it off due to the low height. But I've been thinking of getting another one to put on at the track and take off at the end of the day.

Do you see any possible clearance issues with people who have long tube headers, or different exhaust setups?
