The Lower Brace BMW E87 E88 by CPM is a high-performance chassis reinforcement component designed to significantly enhance the handling, stability, and overall driving dynamics of your BMW E87 and E88 models. By increasing structural rigidity, this lower brace reduces chassis flex, allowing for sharper steering response, improved cornering stability, and more precise vehicle control. Whether driving through tight corners or under high-speed conditions, the Lower Brace BMW E87 E88 ensures that the suspension operates more efficiently, maximizing tire contact with the road and improving grip for a more confident, connected driving experience.

Specifically engineered for the BMW 1 Series, including the hatchback (E87) and convertible (E88), this lower brace addresses the inherent flex that can occur in these models during aggressive driving or heavy loads. By stiffening the underbody, it minimizes body roll and ensures better weight distribution during cornering, which results in smoother transitions and more predictable handling. The increased torsional rigidity also enhances the car’s ability to absorb road imperfections, making the ride feel more stable and composed, even on uneven surfaces.

Built from high-quality, durable materials, the Lower Brace BMW E87 E88 is designed to withstand the demands of both everyday driving and performance-oriented scenarios. Despite its robust construction, the brace is lightweight and easy to install, requiring no significant modifications to your vehicle. This makes it an accessible yet impactful upgrade for BMW E87 and E88 owners looking to enhance their car’s dynamic capabilities without compromising comfort. Whether you’re taking your car to the track or just want more responsive, controlled driving on daily roads, the Lower Brace BMW E87 E88 delivers improved handling performance, making it the ideal choice for drivers who demand more from their BMW.

PREPREG is a common term for a reinforcing fabric such carbon which has been pre-impregnated with a resin system. This resin system (typically epoxy) already includes the proper curing agent. As a result, the prepreg is ready to be laid into the mold without the addition of any more resin. In order for the laminate to cure, an autoclave production process is used, a combination of high pressure and heat.

  • Maximum strength and performance characterictics. In a hand layup production process, it is difficult to achieve 50% fabric and 50% resin content.  Typical hand laminates, even when vacuum bagged, end up with a significant amount of excess resin. Excess resin increases brittleness and reduces overall strength properties. On the other hand, most prepregs contain around 35% resin. This is ideal for maximum cured properties and generally impossible to achieve in normal hand lamination.
  • Uniformity and repeatability. The prepreg is of uniform thickness and each part coming out of the mold may theoretically be the same. Vacuum bagging technology may have some errors in processing, but prepreg ensures production consistency.
  • Reduce curing time. After the thermal curing cycle, no need to wait for the standard 48 hours can be fully cured.
  • Aesthetics. Although prepreg processing still requires mold preparation and demoulding, prepreg processing eliminates air bubbles, makes it easier to obtain a smooth, glossy surface as well as eliminates any seaming lines.
