My strut brace is not crap at all
Just bloddy expensive if I had paid anywhere near retail (For $200 it compares favoravbly with the other HQ Struts...and you do not have to wet the sound absorbing material to make it fit....if I had not gotten the price...would have gone to the Helix..... . I do not like the "pot metal" hardware that snaps at 18ft lbs of torque (should torque to 20lbs) but they were easily replaced. (By a little self made Mod)
It is defiantely well made...BUT AS SAID...TOO EXPENSIVE!
BY the way...Mine looks quite NICE, as do the welds!

I'm confused at why everyone thinks that JCW is crap. I bet Joe's Garage has all sorts of QC problems, but one bad JCW strut brace means everything they make is crap.
I'd really like see the faces of all those people that put aftermarket crap on their cars only to have the car get screwed up and them be screwed out of a warranty. The people that say this say that you get more bang for your buck at other places, but seriously if you want a four-huundred horsepower car you should be looking at something besides a MINI. SERIOUSLY.
So, why is the JCW crap?
Any reasons besides "Well they're expensive."
Really why is my suspension crap?
Why are my brakes crap?
You've already said why my strut brace is crap, because one looked really bad.
What's worse is you even have a vendor second guessing the crap he's
I would like answers. Please I'm not trying to be a d*** but if you are the worlds judge on aftermarket parts why do you even worry about a strut brace to begin with? It's pointless, and everyone knows that.
So really I would love to know what makes JCW parts nothing but a pile of horsecrap!
Thanks

WOW I used the word crap 11 times in one crappy post!
Make that 12!
