By reducing this flex, it allows suspension points to remain undisturbed, allowing for the suspension to do it's job properly.&#160; This often gives the drive a feeling of increased stability and improved turning response, when in reality, the suspension is reacting as designed.</font></p> <p><font face="Arial" size="2"><b>Who can benefit from a strut bar?</b><u><br> </u>For those that may believe a strut bar is only for "track cars" or "racecars", it is also street driven vehicles that benefit from a properly engineered strut tower bar.&#160; Whereas anyone can appreciate the ability for a front suspension to remain constant at all times, other benefits include support of the factory strut towers from "mushrooming".&#160; These generally occurs if the vehicle hits large potholes, causing the suspension to compress completely, and then damaging the rim.&#160; However, its not only the rim that takes the hit, but the shock tower as well.&#160; Over time, if left unprotected, it can cause expensive sheet metal damage.</font></p> <p><b><font face="Arial" size="2">What to look for in a strut tower brace?</font></b><font face="Arial" size="2"><b><br> </b>When looking at a strut tower brace to give you the most benefit, it should have the following features:</font></p> <ul> <li><font face="Arial" size="2">Sufficient protection of the strut tower top (to prevent "mushrooming")</font></font><font size="-1" face="Arial"> </li> </font><font face="verdana" size="-1"> <li><font face="Arial" size="2">Center bar with minimal bends or kinks (straighter is stiffer!)</font><font size="-1" face="Arial"> </li> </font> <li><font face="Arial" size="2">Provide adequate underhood clearance (so not to dimple the hood)</font><font size="-1" face="Arial"> </li> </font> <li><font face="Arial" size="2">Allow for suspension changes (for those that frequent the track)</font><font size="-1" face="Arial"> </li> </ul> </font> <p><font face="Arial" size="2">Even BMW applied many of these traits to their own strut tower braces when they offered them.&#160; For the E36 and E46 models, both used cast aluminum strut tower plates and matched them to tubular steel center bars.&#160;</font></p> <p><font face="Arial" size="2">The Rogue Engineering RACEBRACE was designed as an alternative offering to the BMW Motorsport factory strut tower brace, which is no longer available.&#160; This item was standard equipment on the 1995 BMW M3 GT (350 produced, for Europe only) as well as the 1995 BMW M3 Lightweight (US market).&#160; This well engineered brace utilized cast aluminum end plates and a adjustable steel center bar.&#160; Frequently sold for more than $500 when available, these rare parts easily fetch $600-$700 on the used market.&#160; Unfortunately, this bar did not fit ASC+T vehicles.</font><font size="-1" face="Arial">&#160;

This is especially important in E36 coupes, as the underhood clearance is the lowest of all of the E36 models.&#160; Other strut tower braces will either put too much pressure in the hood release lever or worse, dimple the hood.</font><font size="-1" face="Arial"> </li> </font> <li><font face="Arial" size="2">Strut tower offers full 360&#176;
