M7 Speed Strut Reinforcement Plates At Pelican Parts!

MINI Folks! Get M7 Strut Reinforcement Plates today and qualify for FREE shipping!

Through the years, customers with MINIs have had one common complaint: the strut towers mushroom after heavy impacts from the shocks and low aspect ratio tires. The MINI's shock towers take on a slightly convex shape barely visible at a first glance, but if you would compare it to the original sheet metal, you would 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 when driving depending on which strut tower is buckled. The M7 Strut Reinforcement Plates (SRPs) will solve this problem by sandwiching the sheet metal and shock top plate, creating a reinforced top surface that will not bend, even during hard impacts like hitting a pothole at speed.

If mushrooming is your primary concern, then the M7 Strut Reinforcement Plates offer the solid solution. Adding the M7 SRPs to your MINI is an inexpensive preventative measure to what could be an expensive fix.

Extremely durable, the 1/2" (13mm) thick plates come in sets of two (left and right) and are made from CNC machined billet aluminum that is black anodized to prevent chipping or oxidization. The plates cover the ENTIRE surface of the strut tower (not just where the upper strut mount meets the tower) to evenly distribute any loads over a larger area and give you the extra peace of mind.
