Description

Whether you’re competing or simply driving on a Sunday afternoon your MINI is at risk from the forces exerted by potholes and bumps. At speed, the overt movement of suspension can apply significant pressure on the strut tower, possibly leading to mushrooming. Less than one inch of tower deformation can be extremely detrimental to your MINI's alignment and costly to repair. MINI's have a unique disposition for sheet metal deformation, but installing Strut Tower Defenders can significantly help to prevent this.

CravenSpeed Strut Tower Defenders strengthen your MINI's strut towers before deformation can occur. By sandwiching the sheet metal between the strut and CravenSpeed's 12mm thick aircraft aluminum plate, it is strengthened ten-fold. Strut Tower Defenders come in pairs, one for the right tower and one for the left.

CravenSpeed's product retains a 12mm thickness throughout ensuring that there are no weak spots. Installation is easy, using the included instructions, it will take about 10 minutes. You do not need to lift the car, and only some basic tools are required to fit.

Fitment

Craven Speed Strut Tower Defenders are available for the 2002-2006 (R50/52/53) MINI in both black and red. The pair comes with custom made, 14mm, bolt adapters. These adapters are necessary to allow installation of such a thick plate without weakening the piece at the attachment points.
