BMW E46 bolt-on strut tower reinforcement kit

E46STRTRNFKIT

Description

The E46 front strut towers are known to be out of shape, it is one of the car’s weakest point. When the strut towers start to “mushroom,” it means that the metal has begun to deform. It is a result of stress, corrosion, or improper load distribution. This E46 strut tower reinforcemenent kit is the easiest way to fix or prevent this issue.

Do I need to reinforce my strut towers?
The strut towers are integral to the suspension geometry. Deformed strut towers will keep you from properly align your car. This also means that your tire wear won’t be even. You may experience a harsher ride as the suspension struggles to perform correctly. We recommend the installation of reinforcement plates for both your safety and driving experience. If you leave the strut towers deformed, you will cause the other suspension components to wear faster, and your suspension won’t work properly.
If your towers are still in good shape, we recommend to every BMW E46 owners to install this kit as a prevention. We have seen a lot of them fail, mostly on cars with aftermarket suspension parts. For example, if you install a coilover kit on your car, chances are the towers will start to bend out of shape.

What’s included?
We include two raw 100 000 psi ASTM A514 heat treated steel reinforcement plates for the top section. We also include two raw 100 000 psi ASTM A514 heat treated steel plates for underneath the strut tower. Together, they keep the strut tower in its original shape.
