JCW strut brace in a Non-s cooper?
I was wondering if anyone knows if the OEM JCW strut bar fits in the non s cooper. If so, i was also wondering how hard the installation would be.

Strut bars are pretty easy. And as far as I know the Justa bodies are the same. so the strut mounting points are all the same. You should be fine.

When you reinstall those bolts on the strut tops DON"T over tighten them if you do you'll snap them.

If you do install the tower brace, give us a posting/pics on how it goes.
