Title: Cross Brace for your E30
Post by: ejnight on January 05, 2010, 11:00:10 PM

This will fit all e30 except the IX. I have test fit it on an M3, 325is,318is and cars with large sway bars and large down pipes as well. My cross brace will increase the rigidity by connecting up the sub-frame to the frame rails.
A must have for Vert owners and any one looking for the better ride. M42 pricing is $249 + shipping. This includes all hardware needed for the install with or with out a skid plate. If you want both $399 is the deal.

"For anyone that made the e30 picnic, ejnight "RACE SKIDS..." was there and he was displaying a beautiful prototype of his front X-brace. Of course, I had to buy it and have since installed it on my Coupe.

It wasn't a "night and day" difference like is is on the Verts but after a few weeks of driving I enjoy the increased rigidity over bumps and even roads. Less pendulum motion from the motor, less steering wheel shake.

It just feels tighter.

If he decides to produce it will be the one to have. "

Well I have and Here it is, I hope you like it.


This is a proto type on my car. the new one is a little stiffer with the bend in the rear of the Race skids logo.

This is awesome...would this negate the need for a strut brace or would this make the car stiffer along with a strut brace??

I don't run a top brace on the Vert and I love it. The coupe has both and it is very stiff.
