For the ultimate Mini Performance enthusiast, M7 Tuning has bundled two of its industry-leading bolt-on Mini Cooper suspension components to save you money! In this Stage, I Bundle we have packaged our top-selling Strut Tower Brace Kit with our exclusive Under Strut System.
One of the biggest improvements you can make to gain grip is stiffening your chassis. A stiffer chassis allows the suspension, like the springs, shocks, and sway bars to work more effectively and do their job as intended; keeping the tires in better contact with the road. The M7 Strut Tower Brace Kit and Under Strut System (USS) feature easy-to-install integrated billet and extruded aluminum pieces that will brace, connect and triangulate your Mini Cooper chassis for greatly improved chassis stiffness. Make maximum grip, increase steering response and reduce understeer during aggressive turn-in or emergency maneuvers.
If you are concerned about strut tower mushrooming and looking for improved handling, then the M7 Strut Tower Brace (STB) is the answer. This is the ONLY strut tower brace on the market that features anti-mushrooming technology which we were the first in the industry to develop! Over and over we've heard the same complaint: the strut towers mushroom after heavy impacts from the shocks and low aspect ratio tires. At first glance, the shock towers take on a barely visible convex shape, but if you compare it to the original sheet metal, you will find the horizontal plane has been moved as much as 3/8" upwards, throwing the suspension out of any possible alignment fix. The problem will most likely show up as a slight pull either left or right depending on which strut tower is buckled. The end mounting plates of the M7 Strut Tower Brace will solve this problem by sandwiching the sheet metal and shock top plate, creating a reinforced surface that will not bend, even during hard impacts. The M7 STB features 1/2" (13mm) thick end plates that add extra strength to the strut towers and prevent mushrooming and potentially costly repairs. The cross brace greatly improves handling by adding torsional stiffness to the front body structure. This helps keep your tire planted on the ground and pointed in the direction you want to go, especially during hard turns. Machined from billet aluminum and matt black powder coated, the M7 Strut Tower brace features a durable black finish that looks great and will not chip or oxidize.
We have customers that 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 M7 Strut Tower Brace. Concerned about clearance? No worries. The M7 STB profile is designed to clear both stock and aftermarket cold air intakes & ECUs. The strut tower brace s modular design allows easy access to the oil filter or any other accessories that might normally be blocked and require the 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.
