Looking for struct braces front/rear f22

Hey everyone,


Really looking to maximize my chassis here and would love to see if anyone's selling a strut brace for our model 2 series? I know the front has one but if you ask me it's kinda...meh.


Any advice or links would be super helpful!

There are threads on this. Several options for a front strut brace. KC design out of Taiwan has one and some other bracing parts.

Also the convertible has more bracing than the coupe. I believe some of these OEM parts are available cheap.

I purchased from them several months ago so I assume yes.

They have a rear brace that goes in the trunk.

There is also a super cheap connecting plate you can get for underneath, the part number is in this old sales post. they are $25
