BMW Strut Braces & Stress Bars for BMW 3 Series E36 (1992-1998)

Clear BMW chassis

Please ensure your correct model is selected

BMWs need some added chassis strengthening in the front. You may notice some "chassis flex" when cornering or driving over a bumpy road. The reason for this is the incredible amount of force being applied to front strut towers. They have a tendency to flex when force is applied to them. Tying the strut towers together with a brace reduces the amount of flex and soldifies your car's chassis. Easy installation.

The ECS strut tower bar kit offers more than just good looks - it also serves to protect strut towers from "mushrooming" or other deformation caused by rough roads or vehicles with stiff suspension, and helps to triangulate the front end, providing more consistent suspension geometry with less chassis flex.

Here at Turner Motorsport we love our classic Bmw's and are more excited than ever to focus on upgrades for the enthusiasts such as ourselves. With the prices of E36s going up and the unobtainable M3 LTW being just that, unobtainable, we decided to focus on what we have and what everyone else is able to get. It seems by now all of the E36's have been fitted with upgraded suspensions and sway bars which we have a large selection of. We found a missing part to our mission critical performance E36 project and that is the X-brace. Since the LTW is fitted with a factory X-Brace the engineers here at Turner decided to take it a few steps further. Starting with idea of improving structure and handling on the factory x-brace we thought "how could we make it better?” Before we knew it we had full 6061-T6 billet aluminum that would surpass the factory X-Brace soo much that they shouldn't even be classified on the same spectrum.

Our Turner X-Brace starts off with a solid block of 6061-T6 billet aluminum that is machined to precise tolerances, utilizing both factory mounting locations and efficiency. The brace then gets drilled and tapped to fit the modular mounting brackets perfectly before being anodized in the beautiful Turner blue. To finish off the fine details the X-Brace is assembled with zinc-plated hardware for superior corrosion resistance for time to come.
