Differential Reinforcement Bracket-
Differential Reinforcement Bracket-

Hey guys, i have good news! Active Autowerke is finally releasing a bracket for the e36 to support the diff and keep it from pivoting in the front. This is especially good news for FI folks. What does this mean? No more broken bolts! I recently had the very first one installed on my car, and let me tell you its freaking sweet. Its all bolt on, new welding required! I tried to get pics friday but my shop had my car off the lift, and they were jammed with other cars, im going to try and get some pics the end of this week.


When can you get yours? Karl is currently starting the first production run on this part and should have them ready in 4-5 weeks. Price is still to be determined. If you interested i highly recommend calling AA.

is this the only thing you have done to the rear of the car? How did the subframe & bushings holding up to your old setup?

So it bolts to the bottom of the subframe?

Anywhere else? Somebody has to have some more pictures of this beast. And yes, 200 is a lot for that.
