For clarity V Brace is in rear?

I assume so. Does it help much? In what specifically? Seems simple to do. I have strut bar in front of car with Dinan springs. Electronic dampers.
Where does on buy this brace? Thanks.

Hello dear folks,

I ordered the f32 V-brace, and the F80 "connecting support" plate, with the other necessary parts.

I have a f30 xdrive.

My (stupid) question: the f80 plate goes between the V-brace and the car, or under it (closer to the road) ?

I understand that it goes between the car and the f32 V-brace, but I am not sure..

Thank you!

so does the brace mods for rear of F30 help much?

The front brace I bought was helpful. But I wasn't sure about adding the rear brace, which I now see the F32 did have? Is this V brace for the rear in fact? What is this about using parts for the F80 support brace?? Why is the F32 V brace not sufficient?
So surely this must help. My car with front strut bar, Dinan springs and electronic OEM shocks is pretty good but clearly the car could be more rigid.
Please advise. This looks interesting and has no down side in terms of maintenance or installation?

does Part No.: 33-31-6-797-444 F32 TENSION STRUT come with the brace welded on it already?? i assume it would be less harsh without adding the f80 alloy brace.
