$89 Ebay Front Upper Strut Bar
I have the $88 Ebay performance spoiler. But does anybody have the $89 Ebay strut bar from Megan Racing? The link is below. If so, was it easy to install?

Looks stupid easy to install, don't know if it would be functional or not.

I purchased this because I have camber adjustments on my bags, and with the stock strut bars I can't adjust the dampening. |

Hopefully you never have to top off your oil!

I imagine there's enough room to take the cap off and snake a feed tube from a funnel in there.

I don't think the chassis is weak enough on our cars to flex enough to warrant this. This bar also looks like it would flex more than the car so it's pointless unless you just want the look. even then, it's not that impressive.

The best strut bar would be the 1M/M3 unit. Its not much more than this ebay junk.

Put the 1M one on my own car. I like it. It also a 3 point and ties into the chassis to reduce flex forward when braking. Another bonus is that it reinforces the top of the strut towers which are a weak point on our cars. Can get bent up from just normal driving. |

You can have a local dealer or any online OE parts vendor order you all the parts from a 1M. Harold at HP Auto also sells a kit. http://www.hpashop.com/BMW-128i-135i...tbrace-e82.htm

The one in the link is for the M3 version. The 1M version is similar, but much, much cheaper.
If you search here, you will find several threads about it. |

I haven't noticed a difference at all. But I only bought it for easy access to my dampening adjustment on my bags, so it works for what I needed. |
