I bought the ST XTA coilovers which allowed for either the standard M3/4 "antler" brace or the standard "V" brace on the N55 M2. Even pulling out of my garage I noticed a huge difference in front axle feel and feedback.
Good to know these may also help add some more to the front end.
Great write up

Thanks!
Tbh I think the stock braces are junk, they're just thin and super flimsy and likely don't add much rigidity to the chassis. So there is honestly alot to gain with a product like this, and I think it's better than the m4 brace too. |
Adding only the aluminum "upper" brace made a significant difference IMO.
Really makes you wonder if that "V" shaped piece originally in there was working at all.
I wonder what these stamped corner pieces were added for if they seem to also do very little |
Agreed.
When I retrofitted m4 brace parts - ran alloy part for 6 months (before CFRP V brace) and it made a noticeable difference.
