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.

Rally Road has created a strut bar for the E36 based on the design of the original BMW LTW / Motorsport Strut Bar. Rally Road has improved on the original design in many aspects. The bar ends are machined from a single billet aluminum block. The finish is bright black anodize. This bar looks great and functions as well as the factory original. They even include a raised area on the bar ends so you can place your ///M decal like the original. *Just like the original Motorsport Bar, does not fit cars with factory ASC+T
