Wanted to get everyone's input on their favorite strut bars for the M Coupe. Want something that's strong and also looks nice. Let me know what you guys currently have on your coupes and roadsters! Thanks
Got a Racing Dynamics on my non-M roady. Polished finish looks nice in the engine bay.

Strong strut is the best looking in my opinion. Literally looks like it could have come with the car the black texture matches so well.

Absolutely love the Strong Strut.
Strong Strut for me as well. Excellent quality and the fit is perfect.

strong strut is awesome looks great and does it's work. love it.
Without a doubt, the best designed front strut I have seen__it DOES NOT rely on the six (3/side) studs for integrity. A real shame that the guy only made a couple of them.
I was very pleased when I found it would still fit over the top of the twinscrew!

I'm hoping the strong strut will fit over the twin screw as well Randy!!!
Conforti; they were supplied with the Eurosport supercharger, as well as available for n/a versions. Mine is actually an E-36 M3 divider/shroud/barrier (or whatever you want to call it...) that I trimmed down to fit the ///M Rdstr engine compartment. That would open up your options if looking for a used one.
I got a Dinan. Came with the car when I bought it It looks purrttty Not sure how much it helps because i've never driven without the bar lol.
Are any strut bars superior to the others? I feel like they all "perform" the same, correct?
One nice attribute about the Strong Strut is you can take the center bar off while leaving the mounting plates in place if you need to work on the engine area. For roadsters, a good strut tower bar really does cut down on the cowl shake.
Now in E92 M3 ZCP -- Absolute beast
Strong Strut.
I'm trying the new Mason Engineering Race Brace as it should be the strongest of the bunch with no moving joints. Not sure how much difference there will be on the coupe but I'm sure that they make a large difference on the roadsters.
