1st Prototype: New Rear Brace System.

[Bimmerman325i]

E30Groupie-Thanks for posting the picture, I've been thinking about going e30 m3 5lug and have been wondering what the roll center spacers do.

On topic- I really like the design of the bar, especially the lower triangulated plate. If it is possible to fit a redesigned subwoofer box behind the bar that would be awesome, I need tunes on the way to the track.

Update...

It looks like we will be a go for these in the next month or possibly two... If we don't hit any unforeseen snags.

It's not solid yet... But the target price is in the $400 range for both the tower brace and additional trunk pan support.

Here is a little clearer shot:

NOTE This is only a fitment prototype

The finished product will be... Well.. More sexy.

Should have waited a few months to buy my rear brace. I really like the way the bar turned out. Will this be able to retro onto your original bar?

We talked before when you ordered the rear and X. I think I might be able to make some kind of trade in deal for you on your original rear brace.

Keep in touch with me.

Will this fit a vert?

I will, I have yet to install the brace so it is 100% new.

No.

The e30 cabriolet is a different animal all together back there in the trunk.

The steering knuckle and strut tube are 1 piece on regular e30's.

I never knew that the m3 ones were 2-piece

400 bucks is a shitload of money for a r3ver like myself, but damn that's awesome looking, hopefully maybe the price will be lower in the finaly product. Either way i want one!

I hear you on being broke... At the moment I don't think I could afford one either (isn't that a kick in the nuts...I can't afford my own shit).

The stuff we design and make is is built from the top quality raw materials, precision fabricated and hand TIG welded... And that costs... Big time.

But our whole philosophy is correct engineering and quality... Not sub it to China and pimp whatever we can sell on eBay to the retards for a buck.

Yeah... We need to get on that... But that's for a different forum...

The suspense builds....

Going out to John's to fit what may be the final brace system today.

May be posting images tonight.
