Hi Fabian, thanks for contacting me. I'll get back to you next weekend. Currently in Seremban.

On another note, could u explain how the plate works (especially in terms of how it distributes the force)? I was just wondering. As the shock exerts force upwards from inside the shock tower, shouldn't the under side of the shock tower be reinforced with a plate of wider surface area rather than the top?

Not questioning your item as many have bought it and i have found many similar items made overseas. Just trying to understand how it works.

Thanks

The suspension goes up and also down. the force may not be a lot on the downstroke but over long period of time it'll cause metal fatigue around the 2 nut holes. This plate act as a washer to sandwich the tower plate with the top mount to distribute the load over a larger surface instead of just the 2 bolts.

Hope the brief explanation is clear for your understanding.

Ohhh it's for the load on the downstroke. Crystal clear about it now. What about the front??? need to reinforce??? i found that the E36 M3s come with factory made reinforcement plates, put on the top also.

Good to have item, best to order from the BMW stockist. FYI, this one is mount from the bottom.

These factory BMW reinforcement plates will help disperse the energy and save you from costly repairs in the future. A strut brace also helps to prevent this but these plates are designed to reinforce the strut tower from the bottom. The install over your strut mount or camber plate and simply add thickness (strength) to the strut tower. They can be sandwiched in place and do not require welding.
