Product Details

This Whiteline Front Strut Tower Brace Quick Release Kit fits the 2002-2011 Mini Cooper Base, S (R50/R56). It goes on the front of the vehicle. Whiteline's note for this fit: Allows for quick and easy removal of strut tower brace. In the box: 2 clamps. The part number is KSB790.

A solid strut tower brace stiffens the front of the chassis, but it can get in the way of work under the hood. Quick release clamps trade the fixed hardware for ones that open fast, so the brace is easy to take off and refit.

Installation is rated moderate, with about half an hour of work listed. A wheel alignment is not required. To go with it on the Cooper, see Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, Heavy Duty Blade Adjustable 20mm Rear Sway Bar, and Front Sway Bar Bushing Kit.

Features

  • Quick release: Quick release clamps make taking the brace off and putting it back a fast job.
  • Finish: The polished alloy finish is a visual upgrade as well.
  • Install guide: An install guide comes in the box.
