M7 Monster Strut Tower Brace

M7 Speed MONSTER Strut Tower Brace kit for the R60/R61 Countryman and Paceman. The design is based on our very successful R56 "J-Brace" but taken to the next level. If you want to add handling performance, driving excitement and serious off-road strength to the heavier Countryman platform this is the kit you need.

New M7 Project Car - Now In the Works.

M7 announces Project Ironman has begun. Over the next 12 weeks we will be transforming a 2013 R60 Countryman into a true crossover vehicle. It will have style, performance and Ironman brawn. Living its everyday Monday through Friday life as a daily driver. But when the weekend comes around it will be at home on the twisty mountain roads of the Tail of the Dragon or running muddy mountain roads in off-road rally events. It is being constructed at our shop In Mooresville, NC by some of motorsports most talented fabricators and designers who have agreed to "moonlight" on our project when away from their day jobs at NASCAR Sprint Cup Teams. New technology, a high level of craftsmanship and out-of-the-box thinking will be incorporated into this unique project. Stay tuned for updates and the scheduled reveal

If you have any cool ideas you would like to see incorporated on Project Ironman please let us know.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Only reason i ask is because i've got a few mods in the works, and im literally going to be adding 40+ lbs to the front of the car (skid plates\heat shields etc), which is not very desirable if i want to keep the car light :P.

I have one on my R53 and it made a remarkable the difference. I'm not sure what is more impressive. The solider the front end/steering feels or how much quieter the cabin is.
I couldn't wait till this became available for the R60. I installed it on our JCW Countryman. Between the strut brace and ditching the run-flats. What a difference.
It's hard to add one mod piece and immediately feel / hear the difference. This is one of those mods.

This part makes a huge difference! Went from a VIP strut tower brace to this M7 bar and from that slight upgrade the whole front end stiffened up much more than the VIP bar had it.

Wish you guys had a trade in program on the VIP, I would like to upgrade too. VIP has been the only option for the R60 for a while (as far as I know). Ah well, soon.
