Strut braces to help stop vibration?
So been wondering if strut braces will firm up the cars front end and perhaps stop vibrations...
Had some vibration on the car intermittently and trying to sort it out. I'll check all mounts but wondered if strut braces would help... Anyone looked into it?
I don't think fitting will be easy but worth a shot?

Start with the motor mounts, unless you've already had them replaced. I hear that's a big source of unwanted vibration.
My SA told me my motor mounts have started leaking but I don't have any vibration issues so far. I have searched the forum though and there were a few threads about vibration from bad motor mounts.
Also, unevenly worn tires will cause vibration. Good luck.

Sure have. MBArts has a daddy design for the W211. He made a series for the W204 that is amazing. We were going to work on the E55 fitment (and he took measurments, etc) but that stopped when the car plans changed.
