Strut Brace opinions wanted

2010 MCS with (soon to be) JCW Intake.

Would you get the M7 J brace or the NM Enginering brace and why?

I'm buying one of the two today and I keep going back and forth between the two.

ThankS!

NM strut brace for the win., plus we have it in red

It fits the best out of all the bars, and is stronger due to the tubular design so it will stiffen the car more. Also look at how the bar mounts to the plates on the ends, the you'll see the M7 is weaker cause that mount gives the bar a place to move, the NM is mounted perpendicular.

THANK YOU.
Ordered from you today!

2010? you're in the wrong forum.
And thank you for that. Very helpful.
As soon as they make me a mod I'll move this to the correct forum.

Have a nice day.

bump.

This is the one thing holding me back on a CAI choice right now. I want a sealed cold air intake system, not an open hot air intake. But I want one that works with a decent strut bar.
