Hi guys, I´m trying to find a good rear brace for my JCW, I like the one from Cusco, but I only found it in Lohen. Do you know any other place to find a nice Rear brace?.
Thanks!

P.D: What about the JCW spoiler?..any place?

 

M7 makes a beastly one, alebeit not too cheap.

i have the M7 rear strut brace. i love it

 

The benifits of either brace are debatable, but the M7 means business and actually mounts somewhere worth something.

 

M7 makes great products and this one is no exception.

 

When it comes to a rear brace I don't think any of the designs are particularly effective. They all clamp to the rear seat hook, which in turn is bolted to an assembly that has some movement to it. None of them go from shock tower to shock tower since to do so would require some major surgery. I think all these rear braces on the market are just there to flesh out a product line and offer a product people think they need. Someone needs to hang a taught string between the typical mounting points and track the car. See if the string sags, then do the same with these braces. I'd like to be proven my thoughts are incorrect.

 

My thoughts exactly. That's mainly why I sold my rear brace. Mind you, had it been the M7 unit, I probably would have kept it because there must be at least some benefit to something that robust and extensive.

Yes, it mounts the fire extinguisher for easy reach once you get out of the car and open the boot

 

Right on...here's what I did. I took a 20" piece of 3/8" threaded stainless rod, put turnbuckles with hooks on each end (with the rod in between them) and then put each hook into the back seat hooks/catches/loops and hand-tightened the whole thing up. I have to say, the car feels better and doesn't push quite as much (the tires don't break away and start squealing as much anyway) in some very familiar long, sweeping turns. Price from "Big Box" home improvement store....less than TEN BUCKS!!!!! How different it is from those really fancy ones for $200-$300, I don't know. Anyone? Anyone? Am I doing something wrong? Have I missed something? Am I doing some serious damage? I hope not because I just repaired the dreaded "Mushroom Effect" with the M7 fsb,stb. All I can say is, the adjustable 22mm Rear Sway Bar better be under the Tree or I'm going to divorce my wife. I'm kidding, I swear!!!

 

Well when it comes to the Front bar I think M7 has one of the best ones out there. Well built and helps with that mushrooming issue. Others have had issues where the insulation touches it, I haven't since I don't have any insulation.

 

The M7 FSB does touch the underhood insulation BUT, I wouldn't say I've had an issue with it....I did the "soak and slam" thing but, really, it wasn't necessary. That thing is really BUILT!!! The Pros definitely outweigh the cons. I feel pretty safe in assuming I won't be replacing another strut mount tower. And it really feels more pinned down. Man I love this car!!! Next project; Cold Air Box with "ram air" made of Plexi....I'll cover it with Faux Carbon Fibre and sell it for $350!!!! .

 

I wish I had the money for the m7 brace but I dont. HaHa

I picked up one from ebay for 50bux shipped and it does HELP. The location of where the brace is being bolted on is very stable. There isnt any movement. The entire car wobbles when you try moving the brace with your hands. The rear end feels a bit more tight and secure going into turns. Its something I am happy I have. Not a must , but for 50 bux is great.

 

I have the M7 rear Chassis brace in stock. A christmas deal could be had with a pm.

 

i bought a pilo one, had it before the car was even delivered. I love it, and wouldnt think of removing it. I can tell when it is in, and when it is out, if i didnt have one already, i would consider the m7 set up. It is definitely the dogs bullocks.
