That's what I thought too (won't fit or not strong enough). I just looked over bavauto and in the description for all front stress bars, it says, not for cars with ASC (traction control). How is traction control related to stress bars? I'm confused. Since I have ASC, I guess I'm not getting the front one. Big Daddy, when you installed the rear stress bar on your 318is, did you notice any difference or did you install the front and rear at the same time? Thanks for the help guys.
