Who makes a strut tower bar that you can use with adjustable shocks?
I know there are several out there that fit, but which ones stll give you access to the adjustments on your shocks?
Well, UUC doesnt appear to.
JTD doesnt
I guess strong strut does..
And thats about it...
And Ron is taking his sweet time.
How much do the factory E36 M3 GT bars go for?

Quote: | Trying to see from the pictures of the E46 bar, do the strut bracket ends sit nice and snug agasint the sheet metal or just kinda sorta , In other words do the end caps seem to be made to fit it nicely???? | No. It sets flat on top of the ribs. Where the bolts go, there is a one inch circle 1/8 thick that goes between the ribs. Don't think it clears the battery nut either without some modification.

The same for the E46-M3 one with hardware for $300 plus shipping.
Dinan says the strut brace does nothing. So far, I sort of agree with that.
There are articles that say it helps, but I know of no one that has actually tested it.
I know of no one that makes a non interference (hood pad, raise the hood etc.) strut brace for the S54 M-Z3.
I know of no one that duplicates the shock tower contours other than the E36 BMW Motorsport one which has interferance problems on the M-Z3's.
The Motorsport brace, I'm told, fits the S52 M-Z3 if it has a carbon fiber hood.
Don't remember if it clears the S54 air tube, but I doubt it. The Dinan one tilts it down in the front to do so which looks Mickey Mouse.
Contours are not cheap.
On a Z3 roadster, place a Garmin Etrex on the dash with or without a strut brace and it will shake itself off. Doesn't do that on the coupes.
Not trying to upset folks here, but the loose as a goose Z3 roadsters is why I don't own one.
The Strong Strut is the solution.
As Jo Ann Campbell said:
Wait a minute, the Butt strut is the solution.
Wait a minute, the Body brace is the solution.
Wait a minute, the Ireland bushings are the solution.
