they probably had one of the cheap hinged ebay units that don't help with chassis stiffening

the bad advice and misinformation regarding tower uselessness came from the r3vforum = search strut bar - emre

And this isn't r3v, and it wasn't being discussed :confused:

You've created this position out of whole cloth as an excuse to promote your products.

like said above, probably from some crappy units.

the solid bars are the best, like the sparco ones. they allow no flex at all. i ran one on the front of an 89 325i i used to autocross and when i installed that i never had to adjust my konis again. i had a rear bar but those do absolutely nothing. mine was just for looks. the rear of hte e30 has such good strengthening from the factory because of that bulkhead wall behind the rear seat.

to bad they don't make a lower tie bar for the e30 like they do for the e21s. i put one of those replica alpina tie bars on my 81 320 and it made a huge difference in the handling. they go across the lower frame up beneath the radiator area and keep the front from swaying or spreading.

I actually have a Mason bar in my car. Good stuff, but the main reason I got it was to quell rattles. I do run about a degree less camber now though.

yeah, you a$$hole, you should be giving your $hit away for FREE. or at the very least, not complaining about it when people throw half-ass copies up on ebay for a third of the price. how DARE you try to make a living by developing products that people might want and then SELLING them? what do you think this is, America?

...gotta love the e30 crowd

Considering you can get an e30 for a thousand dollars off craigslist pretty consistently(not always the best of shape but they are out there), and the majority of the other options are around 150 range, and the majority of e30 owners are young. Why would he expect a ton of sales for more money?

Ironic that you're trying to invoke facepalm while being unable to read the thread. :rolleyes:
