Rear Strut Bar Options

[trinity_m3]

Curious as to which Rear Strut Bar to go with...?

Was looking for DMG single strut bar but unable to locate it. Seeing Dinan revamp theirs.

A rear strut bar doesnt do much to be honest. What you want is a Mason X brace or similar design that ties into the subframe.

I'm a big fan of these, ties in rear subframe mounts and still leaves room to pass long items thru rear seats. Have them on both my M3s

Gargastic sells two versions at reasonable pricing.

Not sure why some places call it a rear strut brace. We don’t have struts in the rear. 🤔

A damper is still referred to as a strut at times. Like our hood or trunk "struts."

But I've also heard these bars referred to as "shock tower braces/bars" before.

I'm in the camp that we could use all the extra rigidity we can get. I have a GTR style that ties down into the rear subframe points, but I'm still a fan of even a straight bar since our cars are swiss cheese back there. You can get simple rear bars for not much more than $100, so I see it as a good thing. Just a little extra weight.
