Is this part any good ? And will it change the handle of my car? Also how do you upload pics?

1. I have been told that the E90 body is quite rigid already and so this piece might best be reserved for final tweaks after you have done other upgrades that matter more. It certainly wouldn't hurt anything but perhaps other items might give you more bang for the buck. Do you have any upgrades already done?

2. Below the full message creation area there are further adjustment items and there is an item called "Manage Attachments".

I am not a real suspension expert like some of the forum members who will likely answer. But you need to give more info about your goals, such as mainly looks or mainly handling improvement, to smooth out the potholes, to stop wallowing at high speed, etc. Also is this your daily driver or track car or some combo of both? How do you want the car to change from the way it feels now?

I replaced my OEM base suspension dampers with Bilstein B6 and was happy, although I later totally redid the whole suspension. Other guys like Konis and other brands. Some like coilovers.

So, give some more info and see what the other guys say.

The E9x chassis has plenty of rigidity as Jack noted; strut bars are more or less for looks.

Perfectly good, yet a good lookin' PITA when maint needs doing. Adds next t'nothing, performance-wise.

328i is best improved with suspension upgrades.

What do you recommend I change ? My car is stock I only drive on weekend it's not for racing but it's not not handling like when I first got it I have 98k on it my driver side shock is leaking and that side tends to lean when I drive I thought I needed air but its the shocks causing it to lean .so my ? Is is that the spring or actually shock causing it to lean on turns .i thought the springs is what holds the car up correct me if I'm wrong

Yeah I wanna improve handling I live in NYC the roads are horrible it took a tole on my car hitting all those pot holes I just replaced both tie rods I'm mad cause that didn't change anything the front of my car is real bouncy the driver side leans when I make a sharp turn and it bottoms out when I hit pot holes so I'm assuming my shocks are down and going down a bumpy road it feels horrible it wobbles all over the place now my steering is shaking at high speeds 60 and up what could that be ? And when I turn left I'm hearing a grinding sound I can feel it in the peddle ... It sounds like bearings but I took my rims off and put the factory on sound went away when I first got the rims it was driving smooth no shaking no nothing so I'm confused .

Sounds like it's the ride, not the handling you want to improve. So strut bars are way down your list. Invest in a set of good quality dampers (e.g. Koni FSD).

You can. I think Koni Sport (also called Koni Yellows) struts and shocks would also be a good option. They're adjustable so you don't have to have them set really stiff unless you want to.

ECS Tuning sells them. I'm selling two brand new front struts but you're gonna be better off ordering from ECS if you're getting the full set. Call them and ask if they'll let you return your strut brace as a credit towards the Konis!
You'll also need lowering springs to use with them. Anything meant for your car will work. H&R Sport springs are pretty popular.
