Hi gang -

My 325ic has a tendency to get a quivver running through the body that just kinda keeps going. Not to much actual chassis flex (which is nice) but a sense of loosness just the same.

I was under the car inspecting things (low pressure PS hose leaks, grr, brakes, tons of meat, yay, subframe mounts, perfect woo hoo!) and didn't see an X-brace. I had read earlier that all converts had this OEM?

What would you do to tighten things up? I realize it's an open car and will never be really stiff, that's not expected. But the shakes are bugging me a little bit.

Xbrace? Strut brace? Any other options?

Any of you guys fab these parts yourself, or just pony up the bucks?

Thanks for any input!!
