Strut tower brace - NM or M7 or ?
Looking for a new strut tower brace as I just broke one of the bolts on my JCW. Any opinions on a replacement - NM and M7 are both about the same price point and the JCW is a little less.

Thanks

M7 here. They're milled aluminum billet, look good and easy install. 25# torque on the retaining nuts, BTW.

NM actually works the best due to the tubular design and solid plates. But you're not going to notice much difference over the JCW.

+1 for NM. Their stuff is high quality and comes with excellent installation guides. Been very happy with mine.
