Strut brace?

What would be the best one for our cars? Who makes them?

There is only 1 strut bar that's made for the 135 now, the JIC/Cross Aluminium/CF Strut bar. I think the E9x M3 bar fits the 135 as well, but I'm not 100% sure.

However, I'm working with a manufacturer to make a even better one. Read this thread
I'm waiting for the final version, it should be done this week.

I have the Cross bar ready to install, along with the Cross coilovers. I'm going to wait until after I try the car with the coilovers so I can see if the bar really makes a difference. I'm a skeptic!

anything other than the stock bar will be better... I didn't like the Cross bar just coz it is on hinges. I want something more "Solid". the Cross CF bar is sexy as hell tho :P

The CF bar does look nice, but just not willing to pay what they are asking for it. It's not worth it. I'll wait till something else comes up.

Akak1997, let us know what you come up with, I'm also interested in something a lot more solid.
