There are a lot of enthusiasts still committed to the E30 3-series. For these owners, giving up their 318, 325, or M3 is out of the question. We've tried to make it harder for them to part with their cars by developing reinforcements for common weak areas of the E30 chassis. With these pieces, you can prevent a costly repair or total failure that could cost you lots of money. These are a must-have for any E30 restoration (yes, restoration is the right word these days) or even during normal suspension work. Included in this package are reinforcements for:

As E30s get older they develop cracks and bends in places that see a lot of stress. One of the most stressful areas is the front subframe, especially because of worn motor mounts. A sure sign that your subframe is not holding up is that paint will chip and peel from the stressed area. It's a good idea to reinforce your front subframe the next time you're doing any suspension work and a must when replacing motor mounts.
This kit installs on the underside of the motor mount gusset and reinforces the upper sheetmetal of the gusset as well as closing off and reinforcing the lower section. Requires welding. Kit includes 2 motor mount reinforcements, 2 subframe "ear" reinforcements, and instructions.

Every E30 M3 that comes into our shop gets the front swaybar tab inspected. This is such a common problem but with an easy fix. If left to worsen you may be looking at an entire strut housing replacement. Fix it now with these reinforcing plates and a little welding! Not only will modified suspensions put stress on the mounts but age will reduce their strength as well. Reinforcing the swaybar mount to the strut will keep your swaybar geometry in spec and prevent a costly and ugly repair.

Part #: TSU3075312
Price: $14.95 (USD)

A suspension mount is designed to take the stress and force of a suspension. A modified suspension, however, puts more stress on that mount. Time is not kind to mounts either, especially when they're metal and have been exposed to the elements. In the E30 rear sway bar, the bushing mounts to a tab coming off the rear trunk floor. Unfortuntately, the tab is insufficiently reinforced from the factory. As the tab flexes it will stress and tear the mounting tab off the chassis. A car that is babied and not driven hard may not suffer from this failure. But most E30s are in enthusiast hands now and are driven aggressively. If you don't reinforce the rear swaybar bushing mount IT WILL fail - no doubt about it.
This kit includes two factory U-shaped brackets with extra gusset reinforcement, installation hardware, and instructions. Each reinforced bracket bolts to your car's trunk (drilling required). Any sway bar bushing designed to be used with the stock bushing brackets will work with our kit, making this compatible with many sway bar upgrade packages!

This product reinforces the metal swaybar link mounting point on the rear trailing arm. The sheet metal breaks off the trailing arm due to the constant up and down loads being placed on the trailing arm from the swaybar. Problems increase when larger sway bars are used. This product eliminates the problem by thickening the sheet metal and triangulating the mounting point. A good time to install this kit would be when you are doing any rear suspension work, exhaust, or even if you are just doing a differential fluid change. This part requires welding for installation.
