diagonal flex...how to

how do you minimize diagonal flex?

i pull into my drive way and i have to pull in diagonally. i can feel the car flex and was wondering if thier is any solution to minimize this flex.

i was thinking sway bars or braces. like maybe a brace that goes from the of the strut mount to the other strut mount (having a brainfart, cant think of the official name)

.....any thoughts??

Strut Bar / Strut Tower Bar/Brace - You probably already have one. I think all E9x's do...

Notice it in this picture below...the black bar coming off the top of the strut/shock mount

for some reason that pic isnt coming through. i have the braces that go from the strut mount to right near the firewall one each side but not a strut brace specifically. any idea on where to get one?

(1) Replace stock pieces with the M3 strut brace.
(2) Get Hotchkis rear chassis brace.
