Now you can reduce the stresses on your BMW 135i or BMW 335i with the installation of the Active Autowerke BMW Strut Brace (front). When installed, this BMW strut brace allows the factory suspension points to remain rigid while allowing the front suspension components to function full-form as they were intended to by design.

The front strut towers become the primary areas of lateral movement when the BMW is subjected to hard cornering, and this is where the simple installation of the Active Autowerke strut brace excels.

The Active Autowerke strut brace, while relatively easy to install, it does all of these functions seamlessly to BEEF UP the front suspension; yet the extra rigidity does not cause any unnecessary discomfort or harshness that can be felt either by the driver or other occupants.

Produced from all aluminum, this brace's end pods are all CNC machined for that precise fitment. The fitment allows for an easy install that has no issues with fitment or clearance with the hood. Semi-matt polished makes this strut brace appealing while adding that luster to the engine bay for any BMW 135i or BMW 335i.

The E9X / E8X strut towers use very thin steel and can crack when driven under specific conditions (lowered cars, potholes, etc.). A sport suspension (shorter, stiffer springs) or coilovers will transfer road hazards energy directly to the strut tower deforming and causing costly damage.

Ultra Racing was established in 2002 and become a very successful chassis bracing and tuning company.

Prized for their unique one-piece hollow tube design across their line of products from strut bracing to inner fender bars these are one of the strongest and most rigid parts you can fit to improve safety and vehicle handling.
Strength is greatly improved against conventional bolt together bars by removing the stress points in the mounting bolts which can reduce the life of the product under load.

Ultra Racing is also one of the first companies to manufacture true 3-point chassis bars; this gives superior performance gains by distributing stress and force throughout the chassis of the vehicle rather than just against the suspension turrets.

The full range extends from front strut bars, rear strut bars, anti-roll bars, fender bars as well as floor pan bars and much more.
Available for most BMW and other models.
