You are referring to the rear toe link. There isnt enough deflection in our opinion to warrant an upgrade. I believe the M3 links are much longer, but please correct me if I am wrong. One option is just to replace the bushing with a joint for less deflection or build a custom adjustable link with Heim joints. However, the other two links have much deflection and cause some bind, but we are not too concerned about them at this point in time for our project 335i. Harold |

Harold, how long did it take for your so called "strut brace kit" to come in?

The M3 bits look quite a bit sturdier from photos since it's not a sheet of steel rolled into shape, but that's just looks, I have no data to quantify.

Mine arrived last week (it took about 2 weeks); I haven't had a chance to install it because my car is in the paint shop. I kinda assembled it together but you guys get the idea on how it works. BTW; Is the stock E90 M3 brace black and silver or all black? I'm thinking of painting it all black, What do you guys think?

I guess you haven’t measured things up yet? I was able to figure out geometrically that the suspension has to be the same given a few details which are the shock attachment mount, the trailing (same on boht cars) arm and my handy tape measurer. Replacing four front links, camber plates, six rear link and four sub frame isolators will essentially give you M car suspension feel and performance. Orb |
