M7 Strut Reinforcement Plates 53-510101 are the ultimate solution for MINI owners facing the common issue of strut tower mushrooming caused by heavy impacts from shocks and low aspect ratio tires. Over time, MINI's shock towers can develop a convex shape, disrupting suspension alignment and leading to a noticeable pull to one side. The M7 Strut Reinforcement Plates (SRPs) address this problem by reinforcing the sheet metal and shock top plate, creating a durable surface that resists bending, even during hard impacts.
Designed specifically for the R50 Base Model Cooper, the R52 Convertible, and the R53 Cooper S, these SRPs are an essential upgrade for any MINI enthusiast. Constructed from CNC machined billet aluminum and black anodized for durability, the 1/2" (13mm) thick plates cover the entire surface of the strut tower, distributing loads evenly and providing peace of mind.
Whether you drive your MINI daily or push it to the limits on the track, M7 Strut Reinforcement Plates offer a cost-effective preventative measure against expensive suspension repairs. Easy to install in less than 20 minutes, the SRPs use the stock nuts for mounting and come with instructions that also guide you through fixing existing mushrooming.

If you are concerned about strut tower mushrooming and looking for improved handling, the M7 Strut Tower Brace (STB) is the solution. This is the ONLY strut tower brace on the market that features anti-mushrooming technology.
Repeatedly, we've heard the same complaint: strut towers mushroom after heavy impacts from shocks and low aspect ratio tires. Initially, the shock towers take on a barely visible convex shape, but if compared to the original sheet metal, you'll find the horizontal plane has moved as much as 3/8" upwards, making alignment nearly impossible.
This issue often shows up as a slight pull to the left or right, depending on which strut tower is affected. The M7 Strut Tower Brace's end mounting plates solve this problem by sandwiching the sheet metal and shock top plate, creating a reinforced surface that won't bend, even during hard impacts.
The M7 STB features 1/2" (13mm) thick end plates that add extra strength to the strut towers, preventing mushrooming and potentially costly repairs. The cross brace significantly improves handling by adding torsional stiffness to the front body structure, helping keep your tires planted and pointed in the direction you want to go, especially during hard turns. Machined from billet aluminum and matte black powder coated, the M7 Strut Tower Brace boasts a durable black finish that looks great and won't chip or oxidize.
We have customers who won't drive their new MINI off the lot without one and dealers that sell every new MINI with either the M7 Strut Reinforcement Plates or the M7 Strut Tower Brace.
Concerned about clearance? No worries. The M7 STB profile is designed to clear both stock and aftermarket cold air intakes and ECUs. Its modular design allows easy access to the oil filter or any other accessories that might normally be blocked and require removal of the entire brace.
Installation is a snap (often taking less than 20 minutes)! No need for new nuts—the brace uses the three stock nuts on each side. Installation instructions are available online by clicking the "INSTALLATION" link on this page.
The M7 Strut Reinforcement Plates and the M7 Strut Tower Brace are two separate products that address strut tower mushrooming (you only need one or the other).
If your MINI is mainly a daily driver, the M7 Strut Reinforcement Plates are sufficient. If you have performance driving in mind, the M7 Strut Tower Brace is what you're looking for!
Please note:
Swapping in E46 control arms into your E30 or E36 significantly increases negative camber by widening the track width and also gives you more clearance for more steering angle. Condor's CNC machined control arm brackets are made from solid steel and are fitted with a solid hex-shaped bushing. Designed for the street or the track, they hold the control arm steady and eliminate "shimmy" caused by stock bushings. They sharpen steering and improve overall driving feel. Comparable to the NLA Treehouse E36 & E30 Eyeball Arms.

Swapping in E46 control arms into your E30 or E36 will significantly increase negative camber by widening the track width and will also give you more clearance for more steering angle. Condor's conversion bushings are machined from UHMW due to its high rigidity and low coefficient of friction allowing for minimal suspension bushing deflection (geometry change). They've designed them offset to re-center the wheel and give your e30/e36 the correct caster. They will include a stainless-steel insert that tightly presses over the hex pattern on the E46 control arms. You do not need to grind down your control arms or make any other modifications to your chassis. Please note that you will need to use E36 outer tie rods and E90 inner tie rods when installing in an E30 or E36.

The MMX Performance adjustable drop links are a great choice for any lowered or hard-driven BMW to zero the pre-load on your anti-roll bar geometry. Plus, by replacing the stock rubber joints with motorsport-spec ball joint ends, you'll add valuable stiffness and precision to handling and steering dynamics.
The sway bar end link attaches the front anti-roll bar ends to the front damper. The OEM links were made the length they are for a reason, to complement the standard ride height.
When your ride height is altered, your vehicle's anti-roll bar ends are pulled up. With around 40mm of adjustable length, plus left and right threaded ends for easy length adjustment, the MMX adjustable sway bar end links allow you to adjust back to zero preload on your anti-roll bar - allowing it to operate exactly as it should once again.
Motorsport-spec ball joint ends using high-strength Teflon-lined steel means a much more direct response when turning into corners. By replacing the soft rubber bushing in the factory links with these motorsport-spec ball joints, cornering and steering responses are immediately sharpened. Importantly, rubber dust boots are fitted to protect the joints from road dirt and salt accumulation.
The lightweight CNC-machined T6-6061 aluminum bodies are anodized in our beautiful MMX gloss black coating to look good and stay looking good.
