JCW strut brace

[jrozario]

I am anxiously waiting for my MCSc with JCW kit. Should I add the JCW strut brace? Is it just for show, or does it help handling?

It is just for show. The JCM brace may make a difference, though.

tightens up the front end heaps, makes the car even more "chuckable" into corners, dependent upon driving ability of course

makes a big difference mainly by reducing vibration from the spinning front wheels!

totally agree, everyone should buy it

Also agree. there is no point in spending £XXXX on a JCW kit, then not spending the £165 on a strut brace.

I only wish I had got one on my previous MCSC, as it would have made the 10k miles, just that little bit more pleasurable.

Just order one, you know it makes sense!!

Now if only JCW would adapt the suspension kit for the MCSC................................
(They will fit it but in it's present form it's a bit hard)

I have given up pestering JCG for it now

I so want it too, my dealer would be happy to fit it, as like you say it fits, but the problem is the added weight of the car is not compatible, so it would not be set up correctly and could cause problems
