Strut reinforcement - weld-in plates suitable for BMW E36
Reinforcements where the domes give way!
The front strut towers of the BMW E36 are among the most well-known weak points in sporty driving, track days and motorsport use .
High lateral forces, stiff chassis and semi-slick tires lead to material fatigue, cracking or deformation in the long term.
Our weld-in panels are designed to fit precisely this area.
❌ The problem in the standard production state
In their original condition, the front domes are:
-
Designed for serial loads only
-
prone to deformation under high chassis load
-
a known weakness in track tools
➡️ Damage to the cathedral can mean expensive bodywork repairs in the worst case.
✅ The WehranMotorsport solution
Our weld-in plates for the front domes are welded precisely into the dome and significantly increase the stiffness and durability of the area.
The loads on the chassis are distributed over a larger area – for greater safety and precision in tough conditions.
Your advantage on the route
-
✔ Significantly increased stiffness of the front domes
-
✔ Reduced risk of cracking and deformation
-
✔ More stable chassis connection under high lateral forces
-
✔ Essential upgrade for track day, drift and racing vehicles
-
✔ Proven motorsport solution
