I like the Vorshlag braces but wish not to pay more for the treo than i payed for my car. Any help?

Umm, what are you asking? If you want those bars, then you will have to pay for them. -
Chet, here is the deal: These cars are cheap and easy to buy, but not cheap or easy to build.
Determine what you want out of your car, i.e.: canyon carver, ebay baller, cruiser, show pile/chick magnet, race car, fun DD with amenities, whatever...just make a plan first, then buy pieces for it in a progressive fashion.
Rule #1 in modding: know what you want before you begin.
Closing SOON!"LAST CHANCE FOR G.A.S." DEAL IS ON NOW

You're talking front strut brace?
Make one of the fuckers yourself.

Yeah agreed. If you can pull it off it can't be that hard.
The shock brace in the back is just extra weight for more $$. That is the definition of dumb modifying.sigpic

I wonder if there is any benefit to running this brace....anyone got one yet?

the BMW factory engineers designed and supplied the lower front X brace on several types of chassis
those guys are not dummys = meaning it"s addition will contribute to handling improvements re.-high speed directional mechnical gripComment

Just because BMW designed one for the e36's doesn't mean it helps an e30, which doesn't share a single part in common.
And I always get a kick out of people saying they can truly feel a difference with strut bars and similar products on the street. Lap times don't change on the track, but somehow the car noticeably "handles better" on the street. Interesting...Comment

Hmmm,
There is little point in going into the long diatribe about chassis modifications in a forum.
However...
The hard data is:
That the shit works...
As intended...
On the street... Track... And on a 7 post chassis shaker.
(And... The cheap shit just adds weight.)Comment
