The Mason Engineering brace is UBER light and stiff.
The Strong Strut is much heavier and machined by CNC ...also nice. I;ve heard no one complain of either. Cheers,Vinny |

Anyone have any experience installing a Mason?
They must have incredible manufacturing tolerance control to be able to market a one piece bar. With car production tolerance variance, I could see that installation might be a little testy sometimes.

just called John, he said test car would be ideal but if anyone of had a bar that fits, he could use that as a reference point in recreating one. anyone want to send their bar out for the benefit of all of us???
i know the oem is an option, but ideally i'd like a ONE piece bar like mason and won't rest on the oil cap as it does for the N52! Last edited by 3002 tii; 04-23-2010 at 12:33 PM.. |

I have a Z4 coupe 07'. If you work out the details with Mason Eng. and get your bar prepped and shipped to him I'd be happy to arrange a visit for him to dial the new bar in for you.
I travel through his area monthly and have been there 3 times in the past. Cheers,Vinny |

Vinny...
That would be great if you could stop by Mason for him to do a test fit ... Then all the questions will be answered. Thank you Gabor
