BMW E46 Front Upper Brace in Carbon Fibre with Silver Alloy Mounts
Sharpen steering response and tighten up the front end of your E46 with this premium carbon fibre front strut brace from ECS Tuning. By tying the two suspension turrets together, this cross brace reduces turret deflection, keeps geometry stable under load and enhances turn in on fast road and track day use. It also delivers a stunning engine bay upgrade thanks to its deep gloss weave and precision machined silver mounts.
We have installed these in house and feedback from E46 owners has been consistently positive. Expect crisper direction changes, improved chassis feel and a high quality finish that looks right at home on a well kept 3 Series. A great choice if you want a lightweight chassis stiffening solution without the bulk of steel alternatives.

- Real carbon fibre tube with high gloss clear coat for a premium motorsport look
- Silver CNC machined aluminium end plates for strength and a factory style finish
- Stainless steel hardware included for a clean and durable installation
