I seem to remember someone was making/selling Ti strut braces for the MCS but I can't find it now. Any pointers would be appreciated.

MINI Mania has their "Ultrik" line of goods and the titanium bar is one of them. Big bucks.

 

"Cooper 'S' ECU cover requires modification for clearance. Heat shields for cold air intake kits other than ULTRIK brand may also need modification. Battery cover in the Cooper requires modification for clearance"

 

I'm no metallurgist, but isn't titanium a very "flexy" material? What good would a strut brace be if it's not made from a stiff material?

 

Titanium has similar characteristics to aluminum. It's not quite as stiff as steel but it is lighter. How flexible the bar is really depends on the design. Screw titanium I'm waiting for someone to make a bar out of a magnesium alloy .
