Hardrace BMW F2X/F3X (N20/B48/B58) Front Strut Brace
Enhance the structural integrity of your vehicle’s front end with the new HARDRACE Front Strut Bar. Engineered to connect the upper strut towers, this essential upgrade dramatically reduces chassis flex, translating into immediate improvements in handling precision and vehicle control.
Key Technical Features:
- High-Strength Construction: Built from a premium aluminium alloy steel, this bar offers superior tensile strength and rigidity while maintaining a desirable lightweight profile.
- Chassis Bracing Function: The bar precisely ties the tops of your front strut assemblies together, effectively bracing the suspension mounting points against extreme lateral load.
- Stiffness Optimization: Directly works to improve the stiffness of the front chassis section, ensuring consistent performance geometry.
Performance Benefits:
- Increased Chassis Rigidity: The bar significantly reduces the movement and flex of the vehicle chassis, ensuring your suspension works more efficiently and maintains precise geometry.
- Improved Dynamic Response: Experience immediate, noticeable improvements in vehicle handling and control, with better translation of driver input during acceleration and braking maneuvers.
- Sharper Steering: Contributes to a more accurate and stable feel from the front end by minimizing suspension tower movement during high-speed cornering.
This upgrade is designed for the enthusiast looking for a noticeable improvement in vehicle stability and steering feedback without complex installation.

Stock at Progressive Parts
Delivery timescales are given as estimates in good faith, but cannot be taken as precise or exact information. We highly advise against booking installation/workshop time or engaging in preparatory work until you've received and inspected the goods.
What do our stock statuses mean?
1+ IN STOCK in green stock is readily available in one of our warehouses for express delivery (at the time of viewing).
LOW STOCK in green means we're running low! 1 or 2 left on the shelf so act fast. Over evenings, weekends and bank holidays this stock can move quickly so please bear this in mind.
0 IN STOCK in blue means our primary warehouse does not have unallocated stock, but our UK partners do. Often these can be shipped quickly and efficiently. You'll be notified via the Track My Order page if further delays are unavoidable.
MADE TO ORDER in blue means we've partnered with a supplier which primarily makes their products to order. It's not on our shelf, but your order goes into production immediately.
0 IN STOCK in orange means everybody we work with is unfortunately out of stock. Stock is not available in the UK. The best course of action is to place an order to create an allocation from the next batch arriving.
OUT OF STOCK in red. This product is unavailable to order, for whatever reason we're unable to obtain stock or there is an issue with supply/lead times.
We're tuners too!
Our staff are car enthusiasts, we understand the need for speed... This includes getting your orders out the door as quickly and securely as possible!
In some instances, extended lead times are unavoidable. This is as labour-intensive and frustrating for us as it is for you, please know we are doing our best to facilitate your modification goals. Abuse of our staff or systems will not be tolerated.
Thank you, Team PP
In the words of the Vehicle Standards Agency (VCA), type approval provides "confirmation that production and samples of a design will meet specified performance standards".
For emissions components this encompasses noise, emissions and balanced back pressure, which have a strong influence on maintaining engine performance (power), and fuel efficiency. Type approval ensures that an aftermarket component will reach, or exceed the performance standard of the corresponding OE part.
Type-approval then, is a certain guarantee that an end user will receive a product of OE equivalent performance attributes.
Products on the Progressive Parts website that meet this approval will be clearly marked or labelled EC or ECE approved.
