BMW Performance Suspension and Strut Brace - Your Opinions?
Anyone installed these items on their 128 (or 135)? What kind of difference do you notice, both in terms of daily use and on the track? Wondering if the $3k is worth it, I'm probably not going to be at the track anytime soon but I do thoroughly intend to "enjoy" the curves of the average road.

No, For that kind of money you can get a set of KW coilovers, H&R swaybars, and a cross strut tower bar. That would perform 10x better,is adjustable, and cost the same...

 I'm wondering if the strut brace alone might be a good starting option, only going to cost a few hundred bucks installed but should provide some better traction. Anyone have experience with it? |

Thinking that I might just go with the strut brace and let a local BMW shop install it at $75/hr instead of the dealerships $3897234/hr.

a strut brace you can install yourself, it's not hard at all

Any other opinions on the suspension? I'm more of a daily driver and our roads get pretty bumpy at times, will I regret it?
