I have a mini cooper 53 plate it is lowered on coilovers and was thinking about strut braces (upper and lower). Anyone notice major difference with coilovers and the strut braces?.

Running coilovers or standard suspension the effects will be the same.... stiffer feel to the car - hard to explain exactly just feels better with the braces...

Ive got the JCM front upper and OMP front lower in red and also the additional front braces from the cabriolet ;)

That combo is good value for money and excellent improvement in rigidity = WIN :D

Sound. strut braces ftw¬! what about clearance on the lower brace. Does it hang lower?? lol am I gonna tear it off when I get to some speed bumps! :D

Never had a problem with speed bumps. Its not quite the lowest part of the car - there is a plastic lip just near it (cant remember if its in front or behind the brace) which sits a little lower...

Drop me a PM if you want details of where to get the braces ;)
