E30 / E36 X-Brace
Tighten up your E30/36 chassis with our completely revamped cross brace! This unit will drastically increase the rigidity and reduce flex by connecting the sub-frame to the frame rails. This is an absolute must-have for E30 Cabrio convertible owners to get rid of the creaks. These cross braces are a direct bolt up that will not conflict with aftermarket sway bars or even extremely lowered E30's.
FITMENT:
- All BMW E30 models except for iX
- BMW E30 318, 320, 325, M3
- BMW E30 with 24V swaps (M50 / S52 etc)
- All BMW E36 models
- BMW E36 318, 325, 328, M3
This is 100% bolt up and is fully reversible. No drilling or permanent modification is needed to properly install. Be forewarned this x-brace does hang low on the E30 chassis, but can take an absolute beating. Don't be too worried if it scrapes occasionally.
Please make sure that your exhaust hangers and motor mounts are in good shape. Old motor mounts tend to lower the motor which could lead the the exhaust touching the cross brace. Healthy motor mounts are a must with this x brace.
