Strong-Strut (bracing) product benefits
Front Strong-Strut, steel & alloy versions
rear Strong-Strut (rear Strong-Strut)
The rear Strong-Strut provides
significant bracing and reinforcement to the rear section of the Z3 and E-30
models. It bolts to the
chassis by utilizing the rear
subframe mounting brackets. This not only reinforces the chassis itself but
also helps maintain
proper toe angles of the rear wheels.
The rear end "wiggling" is caused by changing toe angles when cornering or
driving
over uneven surfaces. Strong-Strut is
the originator of the design and the only manufacturer. Most owners
report a
significant improvement after installing both
front and rear Strong-Struts as they seem to compliment each other.
Strong-Strut
Body-Brace
The Body-Brace is another Strong-Strut
exclusive product. It is available only for the Z3 models and fits all
variations.
The two substantial steel "runners" that
make up the Body-Brace,
run the full length of the underside of the
passenger compartment adding considerable longitudinal reinforcement. The
benefits are quite noticeable in every day driving
circumstances but even more so when encountering dips in the road
railroad
crossings, and other uneven surfaces. The Body-Brace
bolts to the rear Strong-Strut which is required for installation, and
in so doing,
ties together the entire rear section of the car.
