E46 strut bar sometimes also called strut brace or stress bar was designed for the budget-friendly and simplistic design. The simple design is based off the OEM E46 strut bar found on various models. A straight as possible bar with no hinges. This simple but superior design was thought out in order to maximize reinforcement to the strut towers by linking them in unison without any "hinged" features in order to maximize chassis rigidity. Doing so in order to give the driver the ultimate steering feel and handling capabilities in order to offer better turn-in and more accurate steering input. All Garagistic E46 strut bars are built using the steel and welded by our certified master welders.
