MINI R56 SNEED4SPEED Race Axle - Right is a high-performance replacement axle designed specifically for the passenger side of manual transmission MINI Coopers. Engineered to withstand the demands of racing, this axle is rated for up to 450 horsepower and is built to deliver exceptional durability and performance.
This axle is a top choice for MINI enthusiasts looking to upgrade their vehicle’s drivetrain for enhanced performance and reliability.
The factory dual-mass flywheel in MINI N14 and N18 engines is engineered for comfort, minimizing drivetrain vibrations and smoothing out gear transitions. However, that comfort comes at a price—28.3 lbs. of rotational mass that dulls throttle response, slows acceleration, and hampers precise rev-matching. Dual-mass flywheels are also notoriously prone to failure under high-performance or tuned driving conditions, and their replacement costs can be steep.
The ECS Performance Lightweight Flywheel Kit eliminates these compromises with a precision-engineered, single-mass flywheel that delivers true enthusiast-grade performance. Weighing in at just 18.8 lbs, this flywheel sheds nearly 10 lbs. of rotating mass compared to OEM—instantly sharpening throttle response, improving clutch feel, and delivering quicker acceleration that transforms the driving dynamics of your MINI.
Performance-Oriented Design: This flywheel is specifically engineered to work with OE and aftermarket unsprung clutch discs. While dual-mass setups provide damping on stock vehicles, switching to a single-mass flywheel with an unsprung disc introduces more direct engagement—ideal for spirited daily driving or track-ready builds. Expect a more aggressive, performance-focused clutch feel.
Key Features:
Lightweight Construction: Sheds nearly 10 lbs. of rotating mass for faster revs and improved acceleration
4140 Chromoly Steel: Heat-treated to HRC 28–32 for outstanding strength, wear resistance, and dimensional stability
Precision-Balanced: Exceeds OEM G16 specification (175 g-mm) for smooth, high-RPM operation
Black Oxide Coating: Offers corrosion resistance and a professional finish
OE-Compatible Fitment: Designed to work seamlessly with N14 architecture clutch kits
SFI 1.1 Certified: Proven safe and reliable under extreme operating conditions
Optimized Step Height: Ensures maximum clutch clamping force and long-term durability
Performance Gains:
OEM Dual-Mass Flywheel Weight: 28.3 lbs
ECS Single-Mass Flywheel Weight: 18.8 lbs
Weight Savings: Nearly 10 lbs of reduced rotational mass
Results: Sharper throttle response, more precise rev-matching, and a more engaging driving experience
Kit Includes:
ECS N14/N18 Lightweight Performance Flywheel
South Bend Stage Two “Daily” Clutch Kit

The factory dual-mass flywheel in W11-powered MINI Coopers was designed with comfort in mind—minimizing drivetrain vibration and delivering smoother shifts. However, this focus on refinement comes at a performance cost. The hefty 27 lbs. of rotational mass dulls throttle response, slows acceleration, and makes rev-matching more difficult. Dual-mass flywheels are also known to be less reliable in tuned or modified setups and can be expensive to replace when they fail.
ECS Tuning developed their Lightweight Single-Mass Flywheel to address these issues with a performance-focused alternative. Weighing in at just 17 lbs., this flywheel sheds nearly 10 lbs. of rotating mass compared to the OEM unit—transforming throttle response, acceleration, and clutch feel for a more engaging and dynamic driving experience.
**This flywheel is to match with a factory type or aftermarket NON Dampened clutch kit!** MINIs factory set up engagement is dampened by the dual mass flywheel. This will be a little more aggressive engagement of the clutch over the stock factory set up as they system in not dampened!! Can be used from daily to the track days.
