Will the JCW Strutbrace for the Cooper S fit on the Cooper D ?

Wind Diesel · Dec 20th, 2007, 04:08 PM

It will fit, so now i bought one... all i need is the car !

I hope you don't fit it straight away so you can give me a review of the before and after

...considering one myself if it's any good. Most cars I know of nowadays though are barely affected due to the subframes etc.

When i had a Peugeot 206 5 years ago, i had on fitted.... didn't notice it... untill one morning i had to take the car into service, so i removed the strut brace, so the garage would'nt charge me 30 minutes because they wasnt able to change the oil because of it.... when i exited our driveway without the strutbrace, i thought the car had a puncture, because i swayed as much as it did !

But i'll wait a few weeks to fit it, to see if there is any difference ! - and report back here !

I think it will do wonders !

That's entirely dependant on the quality of the brace, at least half of them (not naming names here!) are almost entirely decorative
