Strut brace fitted

[Sankekur]

So yesterday evening I quickly popped over to Burgy (really awesome guy if I might add) and I picked up this:
A replica ACS strut brace

And here it is fitted:

The quality of it in terms of look and feel is very good, and I thing it just looks beyond hot in the engine bay, and I haven't yet driven the car, so I don't know if it has changed any dynamics of the car yet (changes would probably be to small to notice anyway, but I am sensing a lot of placebo coming on )

[Burgy]

:thumbsup: Glad you like dude!

 

[MikeR]

:thumbsup: certainly looks the part....hope u get good feedback on the handling.

 

[whattingh]

Looking good.

And while on the topic. I understand that if one drive enthusiastically it makes a difference but for people driving calmly most of the time, are this really worth?

 

[Peejay]

Its rely awesome. How much did it set you back and will it fit a e36 m3?

 

[Burgy]

Sorry dude, wont fit e36, but check this out:

[Arbee]

That looks awesome!

Going to add to my list of proposed mods. Spent too much on my car in the last 2 weeks!

Pity the one for the e36 is just a boring straight bar. Doesnt look as cool.

You planning on painting it at all Sankekur?

 

[Hellas]

Take it off and go drive around one bend to get the feel. The replace the strut and drive around the same bend so you have a benchmark.

But who cares about the handling, that thing looks awesome!

 

[Sankekur]

Thanks for all the comment guys :thumbsup:

@gconry18: Originally I was thinking of painting it, but after having fitted it I am liking the way it looks just as it is (the aluminium looks a lot like the titanium silver of my car)

@HELLAS: Probably 95% of why I fitted is just because it looks so awesome, the other 5% was that there might be the slight possibility that the car might feel a tiny bit better.

What I can tell you is that it definitely feels like it has added at least 15wkW

[Sankekur]

Sorry man, can't believe I forgot , but there will always be a next time


I just have to add when washing the car this morning, all the time I was looking forward to getting to the part where I can give my engine a wipe down so that i can look at my strut brace
