Description:
|
The M7 strut tower brace is finally here.
Sporting hard anodized aluminum with a titanium color, our strut tower brace is complete with a profile that will clear the stock airbox & ECU, leaving you with a modification-free installation.
The strut tower plate is 13mm thick to add extra strength to the strut tower. The strut tower brace's modular design will allow easy access to oil filter or any other accessories that might normally be blocked.
Please note: Currently the M7 Strut Tower Brace is for the Cooper S only.

Pros:
|
very tight steering...
|
|
Cons:
|
you have to cut out part of the insulation of the bonnet
|
|
I just installed the M7 strut brace and it only took about 3/4 of an hour. The most time was spent cutting the insulation out of the bonnet and then recoloring the cut out insulation.
I had heard the bonnet gets pressed up with the brace. This is not what I wanted so I waxed the brace and then shut the bonnet to mark the outline. Then I took a razor knife and cut the insulation out around the mark.
This left a white cutout that looked terrible so I got some black shoe polish and stained the remaining insulation to match.
Now the bonnet shuts perfectly and once opened you can hardly tell i had to mod the car at all to get the brace to fit.

Cons:

does nothing
|

Even though the vendor knows about fitment issues, they refuse to mention it until after you pay them the money. Than they nonchalantly tell you to cut a piece of your car out. Something that would be nice to know prior to the purchase. Deceptive and underhanded.

Pros:
|
Protection of the Strut tower and tighter front end
|
|
Cons:
|
Lost hood insulation
|
|
Good mod and will help prevent the mushrooming you see after a hard hit. Wish you did not have to lose some insulation to get the hood to have no swell.

Pros:
|
looks nice when new
|
|
Cons:
|
looks horrible due to the hoodliner leaving deposits
|
|
The M7 STB....one of the best products M7 makes. It bulges your hood. It looks nice until the hoodliner leaves water deposits on it. It claims to protect the strut tops from mushrooming - mine when on the day the car came home yet when I removed it to sell, I had a slightly bulged shock mount.
