PML... I take as wor$t-ca$e... carries strut bars only from ACS, at $800 a pop - isn't that terribly expensive?

What other brands are good for E46? I'm quite keen to do something about the "roll"...


Cheers!
 
Re: Strut bars

If you're really concerned about rolls, you should be fixing ARBs instead.
 
Re: Strut bars

Hi !

I have attached a picture. Are you referring to this kind of Car Body Roll? If yes, then you should purchase UUC ARB instead of Strut bar :)

As for Strut bar there are many brands but recently ALUTEC is very popular :)

I believed Mr Wilson (Whiteshark) has both the above items :) Please PM him :)
 
Re: Strut bars

yar. strut bars per se wont reduce car roll. what they do is tie the top of the strut towers together so they wont move individually in heavy cornering, preserving the tyre camber and helping transfer load.

if you want to reduce roll, then u need to get stiffer ARBs, shocks/ springs.


btw 800/ piece for a strut bar is exorbitant. even my stock volvo one from SM only cost about $120.
 
Re: Strut bars

Sorry man, what's an ARB?

I'm not looking to get race-standard struts, just wanna fix the roll a little better than it is now... a less-than-100-ringgit front strut did wonders for my previous ride, a Japanese hatchback hehe!
 
Re: Strut bars

ARB = Anti Roll Bar.
I'm trying to find some better ones for me car too...

a strut bar will help with ride, but it will not fix your roll if that is your concern. stiffer anti roll bars will. they are not the same thing.

struts are mounted in the engine bay and clamp onto the strut towers.

anti roll bars are mounted along the wheel axles of the car.

Re: Strut bars

Do any one know how much does UUC ARB cost????? Or any typical ARB that good for Bimmer....Thank u.
 
Re: Strut bars

UUC ARB write to Wilman2772 he carries them. You could also go for brands like Eibach and H&R but the pricing would be almost the same as UUC.
 
Re: Strut bars

Guys, thanks so much for your ideas (and pictures!)... will follow up :)
