Strut mounts / Top plates

Hi guys,
I have a 2009 Cooper S (stock normal struts) - R56

I was wondering if somebody knew the maker of the OEM front strut mounts.
It's very expensive at the dealer and I want to explore other solutions.
Good sites sell various models and I'm not sure which is the best quality.

Thanks!!

Hello,


There is some great options here, I have used Febi and Lemforder in the past on both my MINIs with no issues. https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...need-help.html

and

https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...nts-split.html

I would do them in pairs, just dont do one side then the other.



You can find a lot of info in this section for DIYs and fixes.
