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.

ALTA Rear Control Arms are the ultimate upgrade for your MINI, replacing your rear lateral links with a solid and performance-focused design. These control arms enhance traction and handling while giving you precise control over camber and toe settings. The flexibility of ALTA control arms allows for fine-tuning without the hassle of removing and reinstalling the linkage. Simply adjust the lock nuts and twist the center section to achieve your desired settings.

These control arms are the perfect complement to other suspension products like springs, coilovers, or sway bars.

Key Features of ALTA Rear Control Arms:

• CNC machined from 6061 aluminum rod for durability.
• Heavy texture powder coating for corrosion resistance and added style.
• Teflon-lined spherical rod ends for a solid connection and improved articulation.
• Aircraft-quality spherical bearings for smooth and precise movement.
• Injected Nylon around the ball center for quiet operation as the part ages.

For a comprehensive rear end upgrade, consider purchasing two sets of control arms to replace both upper and lower control arms. This minimizes deflection from the OEM rubber bushings and reduces weight. Please note that on models with Xenon-style headlamps, some modifications to the leveling sensor mounting may be necessary. For additional details, consult your ALTA dealer or our Tech Department.

ALTA Rear Control Arms come with high-quality hardware, including corrosion-resistant spacers and Grade 8 adjustment nuts.

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.
