OMP Adjustable Steel Strut Brace Mount For MINI (Gen 2)—
$191.92
The Story
Strut braces are one of the least expensive ways to add to your MINI's suspension/chassis setup. They strengthen the MINI chassis by bolting to the suspension turrets reducing flex. Strut braces in their various forms (top, lower or rear) are a nice addition to any MINI, but especially convertible cars where lack of roof structure can promote extra, and unwanted, chassis twist.
As you enter a turn, the chassis is prone to flexing, giving the driver a lack of precision and feel for your MINI. A strut brace will sharpen steering response, making your MINI feel more ‘direct’. This will certainly improve the general performance of the car throughout turns, where the increased rigidity will allow you to predict how the vehicle will behave through cornering. In turn, there are no ‘negative effects’ from adding a strut brace (i.e. harshness or bumpiness). They can help reduce rattles and creaks throughout your car, and are a stylish addition to any MINI engine bay.
A red OMP adjustable strut brace for the Generation 2 MINIs. The end plates are a continuous bolt-on section that sits snugly around the suspension turret. Fixing with all three bolts, this bright brace is a smooth metal bar, with adjustability to aid further chassis setup. It is powder-coated with an attractive bright red finish and has the OMP logo.
*Please Note - this will not fit JCW models fitted with the Stage 1 MINI JCW airbox, i.e. JCW models 2007-2009.
