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:

• You cannot buy the SRPs and attach the cross-bar at a later time.
• The brace does not directly fit on the R50 and R52 Non-"S" Cooper due to limited hood clearance of the non-supercharged cars. It will fit but may push up on the hood slightly, requiring molding or cutting of the hood insulation after installation.
• Trimming of the underhood insulation material may be required to fully clear this brace. This is a very tight space.

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.

Features:

Manufactured in the UK from Aircraft grade T6-6061 aluminum billet.

Complete OE replacements

Anodized in signature MMX Gloss black.

Heavy-duty ball joints to ensure a long life span.

325-365mm adjustment range.
