But even their "COMFORT" setting is still firmer than normal. I'm looking at preventive measures here to PREVENT CRACKING OF THE STRUT TOWERS even though i'm not running it "HARD". From what i have gathered, our strut towers aren't the strongest around (no thanks also to our roads and the increasing age of our cars) and have found many solutions to this. But still unsure of a few more things. For the back, it'll be the reinforcement plates / rear strut bar put on top of the strut tower to spread the load on the downstroke. But what about the upstroke??? i couldn't find anything to suggest reducing the load of the upstroke.For the front, i found that E36 M3s come with a factory made reinforcement plate that is placed on the underside of the strut tower to spread the load of the upstroke. This can be fitted to ordinary E36s as well. Any idea where i can get them???  For the downstroke, struts bars come into play. Should i get both the reinforcement plates for the underside AND a strut bar as well for the top??? Not very keen with the idea of a bar but more for the strut bar HOUSING which functions the same like the rear reinforcement plates put on top of the strut housing. Just in case i knock/get knocked from any side of the front, the bar will transfer the force to the opposite as well. True???</p></blockquote><p></p>
