Hi
Look on ebay
there always a bargain on there
people tend to remove struts prior to selling their car
i bought a strong strut, nice bit of engineering

Ray,

I looked at Strong Strut, do you need to order from US? No UK supplier.?
There is one on Ebay from 'Chromiumtec' that looks OK. Anyone any experience of this?

I have the chromiuntec one. It's great, took it off last week when I was looking at my spark plugs and took it for a drive without it. Didn't realise how much of a difference it made the zed was understeering and oversteering quite a lot. It's a massive improvement, well worth the investment.

I had the Chromiumtech brace too, did make a difference to the handling. Found the front end was a little more rigid through corners and inspired a bit more confidence.

Sold it to another member a while ago as it was a pain with my insurers. Don't forget it's a mod, so will most likely need declaring to your insurer

I have the strong strut. They do command a premium but look well made and certainly do the job

I have a weichers fitted to mine, available from Orange Tuning in Germany, friendly help and advice and fast delivery:

Any issues ordering from US.? That would be a first for me.

You could get stung for tax, but I haven't been so far - touch wood.

I'm afraid it was already on the car when I bought it so I don't know, imo it is known as the best brace for the z3m's so if the price doesn't phase you then do it

Mine has a Dinan strut brace.. Like shanty it came with the car so don't know the price unfortunately..

It's well made and looks awesome B-)

I think strong strut are pretty clued up on deliveries to the UK
i didnt get any additional tax
but ordered a small item from somebody else in the US
for £70 and had to pay by memeory about £25 tax 8-|
Its what they put on the consignment note, ie value

 

[Big Slippy]

Thanks for that guys. Think I'll go for the strong strut.
