My TSW Spring / X-Brace Experience

Kudos to Jeff Bibbee and the crew at TSW for making the two great products I installed. I will get some pics up next week after the alignment.

SPRINGS: I have a sport suspension and just wanted a little lowering when compared to other brands. I was skeptical at first that the TSW would make for a better ride since usually anything lower means harder ride. I'm pleasantly surprised at how the overall ride is better, I mean bad roads just suck in the MINI but everything else just feels better. Body stays much flatter, I run Volk CE28N's 17x7.5 with Falken Azenis 215's. I feel much more confident pushing it, I look forward to doing some AutoX now.

X-BRACE: A quality made piece with nice black powder coating. What a difference in control especially with respect to torque steer as I've got the factory LSD. Before I'd really have to pay attention in certain turning situations as the wheel could jerk out of my hands. Now thats just a part of history!

The packing is also very nicely done for the brace which could easily have been scratched had it not been prepared so well. Just well done all around

People say we spend too much time packing our products for shipping - maybe so, but we hate it when we get stuff that's banged up during shipping!
