Bar was sponsor price. Wrap was $100 , but that's a hook up price.

A couple of people are waiting to test fit them on their C63's, but from what I have seen and have been told, the brace should fit since the w204's are the same. I am waiting to get the brace test fitted though before saying foresure.

I'll hit him up and see if he ever found a C63 test vehicle. Here's the final product with CF wrap. Bolts weren't fully fastened yet when I took the shots, but had perfect fitment.

Sorry for a late reply. No I have not done a test fitting on a C63 yet, the people I had asked flaked out. I might have to bribe my buddy at the dealership to get me a test vehicle.

I don't care about CF wrap, but how much are you guys asking? I have wanted a front and rear(trunk brace) for my C63 for a while now. What's the deal and what is the offering price??

Over two years ago I spoke to Paul at Strong Strut about making a strut brace for our cars. He was interested...it was probably my fault that the project died. You can check out his braces here - they are great products - IMO the best out there by far at these price points:

http://www.strong-strut.com

FAQ's:

http://www.strong-strut.com/FAQ's.htm

Here's a good example of what he makes for the E85/86 Z4's like my M Coupe...so much better than the OE braces.

http://www.strong-strut.com/Z4.htm

If there's sufficient interest, i.e., we put some kind of group buy together, I'd be happy to shepherd this thing through and affirm a) interest on the manufacturing end and b) firm pricing for say, 10+ strut braces...post here if you're interested and we'll see where it goes.

I'm still in!!! For front and/or rear.

Don't necessarily need CF wrap, but whatever you decide.

I have installed both front and rear strut braces from Renntech on my 2009 C63.
As far as I know they are still available.

Hello.
How does it feel after installation?
No loss of comfort?
Thanks.

I did it years ago, cannot remember. But still looks good.
Renntech does not show them anymore in their product offering, but they still maybe avaiable.
