M7 Rear Chassis Brace


Bought from M7 2 years ago, completely love it. I removed it because im having a roll cage welded in.


I had it modified to make it easier to install and remove, also replaced the shitty M7 hardware with good quality bolts and quick release pins.


Way currently has a floor model for sale@269

Does this actually do anything? How does it mount at the top points and it is so far away from suspension mounts, how can this possibly (esp with design/flex/no x brace) help?

Ever seen a gp mini? it has a brace that goes across too from the factory. This just tightens up the rear end. It mounts by taking out the d clips that the seats clip into. It then bolts down to the frame and then the d clips mount to that, then it creates a square and at the bottom it connects to the two loops at the base of the "trunk"

Will it make me faster

Does it significantly improve road race lap times?

simply, No, it will not knock of a second, if you want to reduce time email chris sneed at sneeds speed shop. Get a downforce splitter for the front, get brake cooler kit, and then a rear wing,

1) Wilwood 12.2" BBK, poly H pads, CHECK
2) Sneed brake cooling kit, CHECK (altho black hose failed, need to install orange one)
3) M7 Rear Wing, CHECK, but triangulated with some duct tape rolls double sided taped to window and mating with side plates so ZERO flex
4) Sneed splitter, ready to install, but issues with QC from Sneed

There was a large difference in my cornering when i had this installed vs when i didnt on highspeed turns. the rear frame was made much stiffer and felt more planted with this installed. I dont know what your perferred track is, but i could feel the differance when it was installed and i did make a bit of a differance on the cart track i run on.
I run with a splitter, brake ducts, lightweight battery, straight thought exhaust, and more parts modded, then left oem.


Only reason im selling it for so cheap, is because im getting a roll cage fab'd and welded in, and that will take the place of this brace, other then that i would keep it.
