Yeah I was just talking to the shop that handles my engine work and have done a lot more high power E36 builds. They have a brace fabricated and seems to definitely help out. Would love to see if using harder poly diff bushings would help. I'm sure we will see more of these types of fixes as the FI M3 market is rapidly growing with all of the preowned M3s available.

Btw nice numbers - esp that torque. Hopefully it's only a matter of time before a nice turbo kit is out for us e92 m3s.

I'd like to see a set for the E90M3 as an option short of solid and short of a brace.
