Sure... depending on price, brand, shipping, lead time, color, stock market, phase of the moon, whether or not I have a hangover that day, etc, etc, etc. :-)

if you can get a non hinged strut like strong strut or the JTD strut bar,I would definitely be in!
Try to get a rear bar as well.

I am interested in either the original LTW motorsport struts or the JTD design strut. Both NON-Hinged...

The Strong Strut "CL" Alloy Strut is ~4lbs, fits all E36,(with traction control) non-hinged design, open mounts for people with camber plates and/or adjustable shocks. Choice of black or silver finnish and the list price is $365.

Someone needs to do a sales job on the owner. Very few M3 drivers are using his product(Z3's) and this would be a great way to get exposure in our community. I do not want to manage this buy but I'll see if we can get his(I think his name is Paul?) attention if people are interested.

So speak up!

P.S. I sent him an email with this link.

OK....we need one of you to "take charge" of the group buy. Send us a "confirmed" number of units and we'll see what we can work out. We actually have quite a few Strong-Struts on E-36 series cars other than the Z series. BTW, someone said $400 is pricy but it's competative with other well made strut braces. Our retail is $395 but we're offering them at the introductory price of $365. This is complete, no extra's unless you opt for one of the accessory installation kits which is a cosmetic item.

Ok guys here's the Strong Stut man.

As I stated previously...fits all E36,(with & without traction control) non-hinged design, open mounts for people with camber plates and/or adjustable shocks...

I'm interested...someone needs to take charge!

It looks very similar to AA's. And too bad they have hinges, i.e. more toward cosmetic mod.

I'm interested in the Strong Strut if we can haggle the price down some more.

How is JT Design's?

Ok people ,I'm working out some pricing with Strong Strut for their front tower bar.

It's not going to be a huge discout but I've been looking at their product a long time and it should be enough to get me to purchase one.

It sounds like ten people will get it going and I will post "Strong Strut Group Buy" on this board when I confirm pricing.

Kenzo...if Strong Strut price is not negotiable...how about JTD strut? Jim Mihal is a stand up guy and I think he wouldn't mind some extra business. I got to keep up with fraid o lay on the blingness!!!

JTD's is a hundred bucks more and doesn't work well with adjustable shocks or camber plates! Also it doesn't look near as nice, Blingmeister!

We'll get a discount it's just not 20 or 30%. These are small companies with small volumes and require reasonable margins.

Other than BMW Motorsport Strut Brace for $600 that does not work with traction control, you won't find another nicer strut brace.
