UR-TW2-1595 BMW 5 Series E60, E61 520i, 523i, 525i, 530i - Front (2 Points)
Product Description
Ultra Racing UR-TW2-1595 front strut bar is a simple structure mounted at the front chassis- tie the two opposing strut towers together as a single solid unit.
The UR-TW2-1595 front strut bar is designed to reduce this strut tower flex during hard cornering by tying two parallel strut towers together. This transmits the load of each strut tower during cornering which ties the two towers together and reduces chassis flex.
When taking a turn a car's strut tower normally flex, resulting body flex and losing some traction. As strut tower bars are designed to keep your car's strut tower from flexing, they distribute the pressure applied to one strut tower when taking a turn to both towers instead of just one. This keeps the wheels in position. Keeping the wheels in position helps keep the tires in the desired position on the road and this will help to improve traction on the turns.
The front strut bar can be used to prevent the oversteer behavior which always happen to the RWD cars.

* Why we use Steel instead of Aluminum?
First, steel is stronger than aluminum for the same size and thickness. In order for aluminum alloys to be at least the same strength as steel, it has to be at least double the thickness (steel 4mm = aluminum 8mm). When that happens, weight saving is not so apparent anymore. Of course there are also exotic materials and alloys that can match the strengths of steel, but the cost are astronomically high and therefore not very cost effective to bring into mass production.
Before:
In an unmodified car, a shock load on the front wheels is transferred to the shock tower which can cause it to bend laterally up and inwards. At the same time, a load is transferred to the pivot for the lower arm of the suspension causing it to deflect outwards. This will result in a change in camber for the front wheels causing part of the tires to lose contact with the road surface thus decreasing braking and handling .
After:
The addition of an Ultra Racing Front Strut Bar prevents the shock towers from bending. Ultra Racing Front Lower Arm Bars add extra rigidity to the lower arm pivots ensuring that they do not deflect. In combination, these bars can improve handling, control and safety under heavy braking and over rough road conditions. The installation of an Ultra Racing Rear Strut Bar and Rear Lower Bars offer similar improvements for the rear suspension.
Ultra Racing products are a must if you are looking to improve the handling and safety of your car whether it's for road or track use!
Beware of Imitations:
Due to the success of Ultra Racing products, unavoidably there are imitations floating in the market. There are more than 10 such companies in the market imitating Ultra Racing bars, namely,Utx, CTecx, 3Mxx, Advxx, Susxx, D2xx etc. These imitators besides using similar name or logo, had even copied Ultra Racing designs and color – white!
Some of these unscrupulous merchants even copied Ultra Racing's product images from the website and pasted these images onto their own advertisement and webpage. Some have told their customers that their bad quality imitations are manufactured by Ultra Racing, mainly to deceive and thus gain the confidence of their customers. After all, their intention is to maximize profit from their bad quality and high risk products.
As such, we would like to inform the public that Ultra Racing has never OEM for any company in the country.
As an established company in chassis strengthening technology, Ultra Racing would not compromise safety in return for better profit, and as such consumers can rest assured that the products are of the highest of quality and will bring out the full performance, quality and reliability that you have paid for.
