NM Engineering vs JCW Strut Bar
Hello,
I am looking at both of these and not sure which one to choose. I can get the JCW bar a bit cheaper, but it appears ( at least to my old eyes ) tha the NM bar is a bit strurdier. Any oponions. TIA
Spencer

I've been shopping around for one too and I've noticed that the NM Engineering one has strut tower reinforcement plates built right in, which has me leaning in that direction.

It might, it looks like it is far enough forward. Enough GTSpec is a good strut bar too. But it is all aesthetic.
