The Garagisitc Billet E36 Rear Strut Bar combines modern design elements with tried and true fundamentals of chassis bracing to improve handling performance and increase chassis rigidity. The difference with and without strut bars can be felt immediately. Tune your chassis into becoming a handling monster.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAdd the verticle braces to the rear strut bar and you are effectively further reinforcing the strut towers and bracing them to the critical points in your chassis' rear suspension. Similar to how professional roll cages tie the strut towers together with the mounting points of the subframe, this strut brace paired with the vertical braces introduces a significant degree of chassis stiffness and achieves tighter handling characteristics.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe recommend always using a little blue Loctite to make sure the bolts don't get loose!
