Suspension Brakes Most liked posts in thread: Fitment of Strut Brace and Intake Combo Reference 2ND Gen MINI

None of them "strut braces" have been proved to anything anyhow in a Mini 1st or 2nd gen. It's all a bling placebo effect.

 

On an R53, the M7 strut brace works fine with the DDM Intake

 

Adjusted the thread title to reflect this a 2nd gen thread.

 

:cornut: Au Contrare! Mine helps a lot but only with BOTH front strut brace and rear frame brace Monseur DaveO.

Great idea! In the R52/R53 column, JCW strut brace works with a Promini intake.

 

R53 with JCW intake and strut brace.

 

Same here and also the OMP works with JCW intake.

 

R53 with M7 brace and Alta intake, fits fine.

 

M7 strut brace with the JCW intake works well. I would prefer to use the JCW strut brace but the previous owner cut out the shock towers to accommodate a set of camber plates. Thus, my need for a full plate on top of the shock tower...

 

03 MCS: M7 strut brace with Alta/with top. Rubs the top just a tinch, good thing about it, keeps the top on snug. Plus I removed the "Chewbacca" mat under the hood :lol:

 

:cornut: 08 R56 MCS/JCWm. JCW strut brace and Alta CAI, working great.

Oops didn't see that in tap-a-talk

 

Given the way the Defenders of Speed (DoS) Intake sits I would assume it's out of the way of most any strut-brace.

 

11 R55 MCS nm strut brace bar contacts stock air box flange,had to make shims.

 

Glad'ta see there's more than just me that can't comprehend... So Sorry.

 

Might want to migrate the OT posts to the other thread?

 

Due to the time stamp on them it would make them appear before the thread even started. Talk about a mess...

 

What......you don't have a (black) hole in your pocket you could use......:biggrin5:

Sorry, back on topic now!
