Looks good Wayne you got many mods planned for the M?

 

[swamper]

no Daz...just suspension mods i cant see it needing anything else

 

[HornelZ3M]

nice strut brace, every m needs a Simota

 

[swamper]

Hi Swamper, Looks good, was thinking about getting one myself, let us know if it makes a difference :-bd

How long did it take to arrive after you ordered it and did it affect your insurance premium?

 

[hard top]

Looking good swamper but I can think of a reason why it could have an effect on your insurance.
I would think that if you got side swiped, the strut brace would also cause problems on the other side of the car?

:-??

We were told by Churchill that fitting one would invalidate our insurance so you must tell them otherwise it is a get out clause . Agree that there is no logical reason for this, now with admiral and had to pay extra to have it fitted, but so worth it .

im with elephant and the strut brace cost me £84 to declare, worth every penny though.

 

[badman gee]

ive driven an m with one and without.

no difference for everyday use.

 

[Jonttt]

But a difference for non everyday use

Strut brace, H&R uprates anti roll bars and stiffer suspension and you can point and shoot round the twisties

The strong struts are the business, a cheap one would do the same thing but these are so nice I would not be without mine.

 

[badman gee]

yes jon a difference for spirited driving and track use.

Looking good Swamper. I ordered my strong strut today, got an email from Paul to say it will be posted tomorrow I went with titanium to match the rest but the black looks great too!!
Overkill on my car but I love the look of them.

 

[swamper]

thanks everyone.... its tightened up the front end on the quick stuff and the difference between the strong strut and the e tech one it noticeably different as the strong strut isn't hinged and that shows
as for the insurance it comes under a suspension modification...which is the reason why im getting the rest of the suspention done...in for a penny and all that

How long did it take to arrive? And did you get hit with import tax?

 

[swamper]

sorry forgot to answer that....i bought it off another forum....

What you need is a Butt Strut.According to Mike whose car has a full compliment of Strong Strut products for the Z3, the Butt Strut makes the largest single improvement by a mile.
