Default Sparco Front Strut Tower Bar - Steel

Hello -

I just ordered this and Bimmerworld says it fits on the TI.

Does anybody have this strut brace on their car?

I wish they made that thing in a different color. I've always wanted to look into what it would cost to get one of those sandblasted and powder coated a different color.

I designed and made mine. Cost less than $100.00 including welding labor.
Works great!!

Hello everyone -

Got my front strut brace today! “Fits like a Glove.”

I installed the brace but am I supposed tighten the shock tower bolts until snug or should a torque wrench be used and if so how many foot lbs do I use to tighten?

Bimmerworld.com calculates shipping before you buy

I don't think it will work on a right hand driver, the right side of the bar is longer to accommodate for the battery box, notice the reinforcement welded support on the right side but not on the left.
