Hi
I own a 1991 e30 cab m42. What's a good front strut brace and how much? How well do they work on a cab?

I have the Racing Dynamics strut brace in my 318iS and I'm rather pleased with its beefy construction, light weight and looks. Mine came from www.bavauto.com ...$224 US.

I'm thinking that anything to do with firming-up the cab's frame would be a good thing. I know Mike_318_ic (?) has one in his cab...

I've got RD strut braces front and back, and they really firmed things up alot, and reduced alot of the flexy creaking noises in the car.

back strut brace? as in inside the truck? I don't think i've ever seen or heard of that. do you mind showing it off with a pic?

edit - okay, so 10 seconds of google searching will find all the beta one would need to know here (found Ireland Racing and RD)..

could always still see some pics

I actually don't have a pic of the rear brace, but it was installed by Rudy at CG, and he did an incredible job, very nicely cut carpet and seamless integration. I also hang my second fire extinguisher off the bar.
