WTB: Strut Tower Brace

the aluminum tariff is only for bulk aluminum, not manufactured aluminum ... that would only be the std. UK tariff (still not insignificant), especially considering the current exchange rate

OK that's good to know. But even $830 is too much when I can get the WN part for $250. I've had enough dealings with our government (even before a certain president introduced total chaos) to know that sometimes the particular person collecting tariffs doesn't understand that difference.
 
BBS-RS are beautiful wheels. I am considering a set for my coupe as well. By the way, 16 x 7 et11 is the front wheel spec. Most who run 16s do a staggered fitment with 16 x 8 et24 in the rear. That would be BBS-RS 005 and 006 respectively.

Yes thank you.

My car has a square setup of 16x7 Alpina replicas. The tires are almost new. So I think I'd prefer a square setup of BBS as well - that way I can swap the almost-new tires on without buying wider for the rear. Also, that way I can rotate the tires if needed. I have considered getting 5 or 8mm spacers for the rear to get the same look as a staggered setup - and those can also be used if I ever go back to the Alpina set.

Of course if somebody has a staggered set for a decent price I would consider it too.

the most reasonable price for a staggered set are the Coupeking Alpinas - very well made and affordably priced. finding affordable 'real' Alpina 14" or 16" is a thing of the past
 
I was considering going the Daddy Wad's struck braces, front and rear as well if anyone has any experience with fitment etc. please let me and the group know your thoughts. Thanks for any feedback in advance.

Hi all, I'd like a strut tower brace for my coupe. I think it will give me some extra peace of mind when pushing it in the twisties. I see that there have been some beautiful adjustable ones made in the past and I'm wondering if anybody has one sitting around. Googling them, Ireland lists theirs a sold out. Some site called Top End Performance is selling them but the picture is small and not reassuring.

While I'm asking, I am also looking for some gold BBS RS wheels, or other gold/polished mesh wheel set in the standard 16x7 et11 size.

I just posted a similar posting as you did here. I agree that the one from Top End Performance is meager... only one small photo and NO part specs. Just silly. I'm waiting for a few replies to see what good options are out there.
 
The front and rear strut bars are produced by user Daddywad.

Thread 'Sold: New Strut Bar (daddywad) - $450'

Hi Folks,

A few years ago we did a strut bar group buy. I missed out but a local member sold me his. This is new in box and is simply amazing. I’m offering at the group buy price of $450 plus shipping. You can’t get them new at that price. I also heard that @daddywad may be out of them but I’m sure he will make more eventually.

I am doing a CSL tribute. I just learned that this will interfere with a factory CSL hood prop. That messes with my anal retentive engine bay plans.

Due to COVID, I’m sticking with domestic shipping on this. Again, you can always buy one new from...
