Description
Unlock the full cornering potential of your Gen 2 MINI Cooper with the M7 Speed Stage 2 Chassis Reinforcement Kit, engineered for 2007–2014 R56 Hatchback models. Designed for enthusiasts who already have the M7 Strut Tower Brace, this comprehensive bundle combines two of M7’s most advanced suspension upgrades—the Under Strut System (USS) and the Rear Chassis Brace (RCB)—to transform your MINI from “go-kart” handling into a precision F1-inspired performer.
By significantly stiffening the chassis, this kit enables your springs, shocks, and sway bars to work at peak efficiency, keeping the tires planted and improving grip, steering response, and overall cornering control. Whether on canyon roads, highway sweepers, or the race track, the M7 Stage 2 Kit delivers the confidence and agility you’ve only imagined.
Complete Stage 2 Package
1. M7 Under Strut System (USS)
-
Triangulated Design: Three integrated extruded and CNC-machined aluminum pieces brace, connect, and triangulate the underside of the chassis, reducing flex and dramatically increasing torsional stiffness.
-
Performance Benefits: Sharper turn-in, reduced understeer, and enhanced corner exit stability.
-
Durable Finish: Black anodized aluminum resists chipping and corrosion.
-
Comprehensive Kit: Includes stainless-steel fasteners and the specialized tool needed to install the nut inserts.
-
Proven Engineering: Tested on racetracks, challenging mountain roads, and aggressive on/off-ramps to ensure real-world durability and performance.
-
Installation Note: For accurate installation, ensure the vehicle is on a level surface and drill perpendicular to the underbody. Fitment may vary with some aftermarket exhaust systems (e.g., Milltek, Alta).
2. M7 Rear Chassis Brace (RCB)
-
Targeted Stiffness: Reinforces the rear of the chassis to reduce flex during hard cornering without requiring a roll bar or roll cage.
-
Comfort & Utility: Maintains full rear-seat usability—ideal for daily-driven cars that also see track time.
-
Perfect Companion: Designed to work seamlessly with the USS for maximum chassis reinforcement and predictable handling.
