Upper Rear Shock Bushings for Enhanced Suspension Performance

Ensure your rear suspension operates flawlessly and keeps your vehicle's shock absorbers in prime condition with Powerflex upper rear shock bushings. These essential components play a critical role in maintaining proper rear suspension geometry, making your vehicle's shock system work in perfect harmony. Even fresh from the factory, OEM rubber bushings are prone to failure and allow for unwanted deflection, resulting in undesirable consequences during various driving conditions.

Common issues arising from deflection in OEM bushings include:

• Rear-end clunking noises
• A sensation of "rear play"
• Uneven tire wear

Powerflex polyurethane rear trailing arm bushings are designed to be firmer than their OEM counterparts, significantly reducing deflection and its associated problems. By addressing these suspension angle changes, Powerflex bushings enhance your vehicle's performance and handling, especially when encountering road imperfections and while cornering. When paired with a proper alignment, they also contribute to extending tire life.

Why choose Powerflex:

1. Experience and Expertise: Powerflex is the leading suspension bushing manufacturer in Europe, trusted by countless enthusiasts. Their in-depth knowledge of polyurethane materials and state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques results in top-quality, precision-engineered bushings.
2. Durability: Powerflex performance polyurethane bushings outlast OEM rubber bushings, providing long-term reliability while improving your vehicle's performance and overall driving experience.
3. Ease of Installation: For a smooth installation process, we recommend using Powerflex Copper Grease PCG1. Periodic reapplication of the grease is advisable to maintain squeak-free bushings.
4. Versatility: Powerflex street bushings are ideal for everyday street-driven vehicles and those that occasionally participate in autocross or track events. If you need bushings for a dedicated track car, Powerflex Black Series bushings, featuring a 95A durometer polyurethane, are the ultimate choice, offering 25% greater stiffness compared to street bushings.

Rest easy with Powerflex's Lifetime Warranty, a testament to their commitment to product quality and customer satisfaction.

Known by various names such as guide mount or front strut support, this component plays a pivotal role in maintaining the tranquility of your vehicle's suspension. Over time, wear and tear can cause suspension squeaks or unsettling clunking noises, emphasizing the importance of this part for a peaceful driving experience.

What sets this guide mount apart is its versatility, as it can be utilized on both the passenger and driver sides of your vehicle. When the spring and strut are compressed and locked, exposing the end thread of the strut, this guide mount securely attaches to the top of the strut, ensuring a reliable and noise-free suspension system.

For the best results, professional installation is highly recommended, guaranteeing not only a quieter ride but also the long-lasting performance of this critical component.

Fine-tuning your coilover damping shouldn’t mean stripping out your rear seats or interior panels. On many applications, rear shock adjusters are hidden behind carpet, trim, or seatbacks, making quick adjustments a hassle.

The ECS Rear Damping Extension Kit solves that problem with a clean and functional solution. These flexible extensions relocate the adjustment knobs to an easily accessible point above the rear shock towers, letting you dial in your suspension from inside the cabin, no disassembly required.

Installation is straightforward: simply drill a small access hole in your interior trim and route the extension cables through. The adjustment knobs can be removed to allow the line to pass through smaller openings, minimizing cutting. For proper installation, be sure to fully loosen the set screw, insert the cable, then securely tighten it using the provided Allen key.

Kit Includes:

(2) Rear damping adjuster extension cables

A smart upgrade for track cars, daily drivers, or anyone who values easy access to suspension tuning, without compromising interior fit and finish.

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.
