Ordered Intrax 1K2 - questions/suggestions

[Loaded_csl]

I think the top mounts are not aligned or placed in the same place in the strut tower holes...

BTW, shame on you, rusted bolts on the strut bar :smt063

True that :119:

Please please do yourself a favour and put the BMW top mount support between the intrax top mount and the car. I know that may not make sense but BMW make a piece that spreads the load. You have all the load in a very small area if you do a search you will find the part number required
the small top mount will cause damage!!!!

Thanks for the advice, I will do that! Does the dish of the front strut brace not spread the load as well?

yes, when the suspension drops, but when coming the other way the smaller top mounts are nowhere near the size of the OEM ones and therefore create stress where the car cant take it and wasnt designed to do so, there is an easy OEM additional support that is cheap and just pop rivets in. I had mine painted as they come in black :whistle:
