customer testimonials on e 39 Strong-Strut
this page updated 8-20-05
We are offering the Strong-Strut in two versions, a plain cross bar like the one shown below, or one with 11 machined holes in it similar to this model. This is a $40 option. The holes are not drilled with a bit, they are cleanly CNC machined and the top and bottom have a small chamfer adding to the cosmetics. The other option is the $15 stainless steel accessory installation kit This is the small kit without the plastic tower caps because the E 39 comes with tower caps.
You might want to review our web page at http://www.Strong-Strut.com and see what products we have offered owners of other BMW models and what their opinion is. The Testimonial page is especially interesting to anyone considering the addition of a strut brace or for "non-believers."
All our products come with a 100% satisfaction guarantee
Our exclusive pivotless design has a threaded steel shaft 1/2 inch in diameter and is the strongest connecting hardware in the industry. (see pictures below) Each tower ring starts life as a solid alloy billet and is CNC machined to shape. The cross bar is adjustable to accommodate the factory differences in vehicles. The rings are a full 3/8 inch thick and fully machined on the underside to fit the cleats on the shock tower dome. The cross bar is 2 inches wide and 3/4 inch thick. You will see nothing but superb quality in every detail of design and execution, yet it is trim, exceptionally strong and attractive to the eye.
Unlike competing models, we use no stamped parts, hinged type hardware, (pivoting joints) or castings, in the manufacture. Each unit is individually hand assembled and welded in a heavy steel fixture that replicates the E 39 chassis. It is available in your choice of Titanium Silver or Black Textured supreme powder coat.
Installation is a simple 20 minute "bolt on application" with common tools.
