Excellent clearance around the engine bay, definite improvement in overall chassis stiffness. That said, I cannot give an honest opinion on results for a coupe. I had a coupe that was a lot stiffer than my convertible, even with all the extra bracing. I also run 17" BBS rims with beefier rubber now since the roads by me are garbage. I would 100% recommend this on a convertible, coupe I definitely THINK it would help but I can't say that for sure. Great quality, pricing in line or a bit better than others I have seen, and super easy to work with.

Torque the front bolts to 30NM, I confirmed this with trusted sources (Matt the Dinan Tsar at Thompson). BTW the rear even works with the BMW OEM trunk liner installed, which was a nice surprise. Last photo rear isn't scratched, that's a feather or something that came out of my jacket  |
Hi
I order the KC front strut bar for my 2016 M235i convertible , received very quick , went to install I seen one side seemed higher drivers side , I sprayed some wax on the bar and closed the hood when fully installed and open the hood and notice foam and slight indent in the hood padding , I quickly contacted KC , said it's normal , I am returning my strut , I believe over time it will eat away the padding and cause bigger damage , FYI
