What are the benefits to the front strut brace?
The cute girl at reception for an hour (if there is one...!) - At our $tealer it will be about 5 hours!!!

dxb335d · 09-18-2007, 07:34 AM

MY DEALER is shit, cock up a service and i get nothing? you get a late order and get 200quid

bob mushroom · 09-18-2007, 12:50 PM

A well constructed arguement ensuring knots are tied has certainly helped - once all is resolved I will share the story and perhaps some tips!!!

So anyone, the front strut brace will do what?

Serjames · 09-18-2007, 12:59 PM

brace stuff...

Helps with rigidity and in conjuction with uprated shocks, dampers COULD turn it into a seriously nice handling piece of kit.

so uprated shocks - would an example be the H & R Springs? Is it a worthwhile mod on a 320d?

Sort of - actually uprating the shocks would be going to someting like Koni FSDs (which are great on an e92 - drove one three weeks go, massive difference... want to do it myself)

Springs to match the FSDs will be Eibachs, not H&R as they are too progressively wound.

Or, you can go for KW2 Coilovers...

The US side of the forum has an entire soap opera dedicated to suspension - just bear in mind their idea of bumpy roads and 'cornering' are ever so slightly different to ours!!!

It's that honey vs. vinegar approach.

ShereKhan · 09-18-2007, 04:04 PM

Hmm was going to suggest 6FL upgrade but you already have it!

What about going for the drawer that fits in the top of the boot area? Must be about £200. Or you could get some mudflaps maybe?

I'm sure you already have a set of mats provided by your company.

Ah a ray of hope - maybe the message will finally sink in about how to address these things......
