E46 / Z4 FRONT SUBFRAME REINFORCEMENT KIT

fits 1999-2005 E46 M3/330/328/325/323 and 2002-2005 Z4

This kit is designed to strengthen the front subframe around the engine mount bushing points. Weakening, cracking, and eventual failure occurs as a result of mileage or hard use. Strengthening of this area is critical not only for safe operation in a street car, but also for optimum performance in a track or race car.

Parts list for kit:
2 motor mount nut reinforcement plates
2 subframe ear reinforcement plates

E46 REAR SUBFRAME CHASSIS REINFORCEMENT KIT

fits: 1999-2005 BMW E46 M3/330/328/325/323

This kit is designed to strengthen the rear subframe mounting attachment points in the floorpan of the chassis. As these points weaken from the normal stress of driving, the sheetmetal in the floor cracks and eventually rips. Strengthening of this area is critical not only for safe operation in a street car, but also for optimum performance in a track or race car.

Parts list for kit:
1. Two 12mm x 1.5 bolts
2. Two front subframe mounting point Reinforcements
3. One Right rear subframe mounting point Reinforcement
4. One Left rear subframe mounting point Reinforcement
5. Two cross member spacers
6. Two trunk block off plates

IMPORTANT NOTES:
1. The entire exhaust, rear suspension, and subframe must be removed for installation.
2. Requires welding – it is very important to disconnect the battery and DME (computer) before welding. All grounding must be directly to the chassis.
3. Professional installation strongly recommended.

NEW! Updated design with 100% open strut mount area allows complete access for adjustable suspensions.

The StrutBarbarian is available for all 1992-1999 E36 3-series 6-cylinder models (including M3 and Euro or S54 engine swaps).

Several features make the UUC Motorwerks Barbarian strut tower brace unique:

Aluminium alloy bar construction and steel end plates (grade 12.9 steel bolts) for very important reasons:

a) Strength: the StrutBarbarian bar section is truly a structural reinforcement for the shock tower section of the chassis.
b) Light weight: the entire StrutBarbarian weighs approximately 5.0lbs (compare to other bars upwards of 10lbs.+)

The Barbarian uses no pivots or heim joints. To resist bending and torsion, those design elements are avoided.

Open top design allows access to adjustable suspension components.

Precision construction. In order to accurately produce a bar with very tight tolerances, we do not weld any portion of the StrutBarbarian assembly. Welding can compromise the structural integrity of the material and its metallurgical characteristics as well as introduce warping from the heat. By using computer numerically controlled (CNC) laser cutting and manufacturing techniques, we're assured that the bar fits perfectly every time.

Quality materials. The entire assembly is constructed in the USA of premium aircraft-grade aluminum alloy and steel with stainless steel hardware for continuous high-performance service without fear of surface or material degradation over time. All parts are powder coated for appearance. Stainless steel acorn nuts are provided for all six strut bearing studs and all four bar mounting studs.
You are assured that this is the best possible product at any price, at any cost. By using massive overkill engineering, we have ensured that the StrutBarbarian left nothing to compromise.

The StrutBarbarian is available for all 1999-2004 E46 3-series (including M3) .

Magnesium alloy construction (grade 12.9 stainless steel bolts) for very important reasons:

a) Strength: the StrutBarbarian bar section is tubular for strength comparable or greater than solid bars.
b) Light weight: the entire StrutBarbarian weighs approximately 2lbs (compare to other bars upwards of 10lbs.+)
