Front Strut Brace Z3 2.8

[Col Motherwell]

Hi Folks

Looking to fit a front strut brace to my 1998 Z3 2.8 . Thought I had found the perfect product ( E-Tech ) that fits straight on however it has been discontinued .
Any suggestions would be grateful

Cheers @Grumpy

I do make them @Col Motherwell
Just redesigning at the moment. But should have them sorted in a few weeks.
My rear upper strut brace and lower strut brace are proving really popular.

Can you let me know when ready

Thanks

My brace was the cheapest I could find. It is made of two steel tubes and is bright red. It appears to do the trick. You could pay ~£200 more, but I don't think it would be that much better. It took about 5 minutes to fit and appears to stiffen up the front. I fitted a pair of power flex bearings at the same time and it cut down the tram lining considerably.

Hi Frank . Do you have an image & will it fit straight on to the Z3 2.8 1998 ?

Also what's the cost ?

Cheers

I will have a look in the morning. Mine is a 2.8 auto and it dropped straight in on the towers.
If you google front tower braces you might find it.

I took a couple of shots of my brace, but it doesn't have a name on it that I can

looks like weichers , they do a polished version too

 

[Col Motherwell]

Yip , speaking to DC Performance & just checking with them that the Weichers Brace fits OK .
Seems to be an issue with some Front Strut Braces if you have a ASC unit & I do, like the pictures above however the guy is checking for me with the manufacturer that it fits OK . It it the Polished version .

Did you get sorted?
Mine has ASC unit so I need one that's compatible too. Ive not looked into any yet so I didn't even know there was a problem with that.
Ill be looking to get one quite soon

Hi Davy , I got mine from DC Performance - 0870 1995555 & the front brace model code was GW067023 , Wiechers Sport ..

Easy to fit & looks good also.
