Never installed or fitted.

Dinan description:
TUBULAR CARBON FIBER STRUT TOWER BRACE, featuring forged aluminum end plates. Simple bolt-on installation on top of shock towers (replaces stock brace directly). Stiffens chassis by comparison to the stock braces through substantially increased rigidity, further reducing flex during cornering.

M5
550i
545i
530i
525i

Includes installation manual and supplied hardware.

Thanks!

Laymen?s terms it keeps one strut tower from touching the other under extreme turning. Helps keep the car flat as possible when cornering works in conjunction with swaybar

You are correct 525iEnjoy. Carbon fiber is MUCH stronger/stiffer material than the stock brace material, so it significantly decreases bodyroll when cornering.

It is BRAND NEW and has never been taken out of the plastic protective wrap. Carbon fiber brace is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!

I will be shipping it by UPS (tracking # will be provided as soon as it ships). It will be in a original Dinan shipping box.

PM me if interested.

Thank!

I'd love to see how one strut tower can touch the other strut tower under extreme turning.

Is this a new option for our cars?
