This lightweight aluminum bar features a tubular design held in place by two powder-coated steel brackets which gives it a classic look that never goes out of style. This strut bar is a great addition to the BMW E46 as it ties both strut towers together which effectively counters chassis flex. The bar also stiffens the front of the chassis for improved steering response and unleashes a more stable ride for you. This strut bar is designed to work with many types of suspensions from stock, to lowering springs, to coilovers, in addition to that, it is designed to be compatible with the Wisefab FD Legal Lock Kit that pushes the center of the strut out to the limits. Currently, we have two options available in our shop; one with a polished finish and another one with no polish.
Features:
- Drastically reduces chassis flex to maintain steering stability under cornering.
- Evenly distributes suspension force through the chassis by connecting the strut towers.
