[QUOTE="loafer, post: 465801, member: 10508"] For me strut bars need to be strong enough to do what they're meant to ie. reinforcing the chassis to reduce flex. So a cheap bar is fine as long as it's strong. As for ARB it really depends on what you want from your car. Having thicker ARB is good for reducing body roll but setting it up too stiff does have it's drawback as well. Here's some reference to the ARB thickness from different brands. [url]http://www.bimmersclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=263[/url] Personally if you ask me only the front strut and rear strut brace from UR is usable. I think they come out with way too many different bars. More like overkill. [/QUOTE]
