Professional & Detailed Product Description
Maximize the handling potential of your first-generation MINI Cooper with the M7 Speed Gen 1 Rear Chassis Brace (RCB), engineered for 2002–2006 Hatchback R50 & R53 models. Chassis flex during cornering can compromise tire contact, resulting in reduced grip, excessive oversteer, and unpredictable handling. The M7 Rear Chassis Brace addresses this issue by stiffening the rear of your MINI, allowing the suspension—springs, shocks, and sway bars—to perform optimally.
The RCB features a fully triangulated design and lightweight race-car-grade construction for maximum stiffness without adding unnecessary weight. Designed as a bolt-on upgrade, it integrates seamlessly with the M7 Under Strut System and Strut Tower Brace, creating a fully reinforced chassis system for track-ready performance or spirited street driving.

Fully triangulated chassis design for maximum rear-end rigidity.
