M7 Coilovers
Our Price: $1,499.00

When we started engineering the M7 Coilovers, there were specific design issues that we wanted to address. Our other goal was to build an excellent shock at a very fair price point . . . and we believe we've done just that and more.

Issue #1: Dynamic ride and handling capabilities with exceptional compression and rebound control.
Issue #2: Knobs that are easy to adjust without removing the coilover from the suspension.
Issue #3: Class-leading performance at an affordable price.

The M7 Coilover System is a mono-tube, nitrogen gas pressure shock. The coilovers feature 15-position compression and rebound “click” adjustments, plus height adjustable settings. Addressing our design issues, we made sure both the front and rear adjustment knobs are extremely easy to access, plus the adjustments are easy to feel with the “clicks” so you know exactly what’s going on. The shocks are clear anodized aluminum that gives them a matt silver look.

Spring rates were chosen to give outstanding drivability both on and off the track--240 lbs. front and 280 lbs. rear. We also offer custom valving and spring rates ranging from 230 lbs.-900 lbs. Keep in mind that custom orders will add extra time for delivery and an additional charge for the custom valving and springs.

H-Sport Rear Sway Bar
Our Price: $210.00

Arguably one of the most noticeable modifications an owner can make to his or her MINI is the replacement of the stock rear sway bar with an adjustable and larger diameter bar. 1FastMIN is proud to offer the full line of H-Sport rear sway bar applications to fit your personal driving style!

Replacing your stock rear sway bar with one of the H-Sport bars will greatly affect your turn-in and cornering abilities. Each bar offers a larger diameter over the stock bar with 3 adjustable stiffness settings and comes complete with polyurethane bushings, bushing brackets and 90-degree zerk fittings for easy lubrication. By tying the rear wheels together via the sway bar, you can manipulate the way your car rotates around a corner. Do you notice the understeer that the MINI comes equipped with from the factory? Dial it out with a rear sway bar! This modification is a MUST for any driver looking to increase handling capabilities on a favored canyon road or shave some seconds off from track times.
H-Sport Front Sway Bar
Our Price: $160.00

Just like the rear sway bar and the rear wheels, the H-Sport Front Sway Bar will tie the two front wheels together to give the driver more precise steering input via two adjustment positions. The addition of one of the H-Sport Rear sway bars must accompany this modification in order to dial out the additional understeer that results from adding the front sway bar alone. The H-Sport Front Sway Bar (Sport) comes complete with polyurethane bushings, bushing brackets and zerk fittings for easy occasional lube.
H-Sport Rear Control Arms - Lower Only
Our Price: $252.00

This is a must for lowered MINIs! Lowering your MINI will affect the suspension geometry of your vehicle often adding more negative camber to the rear wheels. This results in poor handling (increased understeer) and uneven tire wear. While newer MINI models have the ability to adjust camber, the range of adjustability does not compare to that of the H-Sport Rear Control Arms (0° to - 4°). When used with the H-Sport Front Camber plates, the Rear Control Arms will allow you to customize your alignment settings to fit your personal style of driving.

Each Link is simply adjusted by loosening the lock nuts and then rotating the hex center for more or less camber. The Rear Camber Links are designed and tested to suit any street or track environment. Each Link comes fully built from H-Sport and is pre-set to the stock length. With the Links pre-set to the stock length, you can then use that camber setting as your new baseline. The Links themselves are made up of two tubular steel outer arms with a billet aluminum hex center. The polyurethane bushings can be greased by utilizing the zerk fittings at each end.

This set of two control arms to replace the lower stock control arms will adjust rear camber.

M7 Strut Re-Inforcement Plates (R56, Per Pair)
Our Price: $129.00

Answering the call for a way to stop mushrooming before it happens, M7 is happy to announce the R56 Strut Re-inforcements Plates (SRP) are now available! Taking the tested and proven design from our previous generation, the R56 SRP Plates will protect your strut towers from the evil potholes that always seem to spring out from nowhere.

As an added bonus, the M7 R56 SRP Plates are upgradeable! That's right! Just pop off the M7 logo and they will reveal mounting points for a cross bar turning your SRPs into the M7 Strut Tower Brace!

Through the years, customers and friends with MINIs have had one common complaint: the strut towers mushroom after heavy impacts from the shocks and low aspect ratio tires. The MINI's shock towers take on a slightly convex shape barely visible at a first glance, but if you would compare it to the original sheet metal, you would find the horizontal plane has been moved as much as 3/8" upwards, throwing the suspension out of any possible alignment fix.

The problem will most likely show up as a slight pull either left or right when driving depending on which strut tower is buckled. The M7 Strut Re-Inforcement Plates (SRPs) will solve this problem by sandwiching the sheet metal and shock top plate, creating a homogenous top surface that will not bend, even during hard impacts.

If mushrooming is your primary concern, then the M7 Strut Re-Inforcement Plates offer the solid solution. Adding the M7 SRPs to your MINI is an inexpensive preventative measure to what could be an expensive fix. We have customers that won't drive a new MINI off the lot without a set of M7 SRPs installed, as well as dealers that sell every new MINI with a set of M7 SRPs.

Extremely durable, the 1/2" (13mm) thick plates come in sets of two (left and right) and are made from CNC machined aluminum that is hard anodized black to prevent chipping or oxidization. Our plates cover the ENTIRE surface of the strut tower (not just where the upper strut mount meets the tower) to evenly distribute any loads over a larger area and give you the extra peace of mind.

Installation is a snap and includes simple instructions that also addresses fixing existing mushrooming. No need for new bolts, the SRPs use the 3 stock bolts on each side for installation.
H&R Clubman Sport Springs
Our Price: $250.00

The factory has simply let us all down (or should I say UP) with the stock ride height of the R55 MINI Clubman and Clubman S. The way it should have been is about 1.5" lower! These are an excellent compliment to the R55! German made, lifetime warranty, easy to install. What more do you want?

This is an extremely nice upgrade to the car. Removes the excessive wheel gap and reduces the roll center. Improves steering response as well as the visual impact. Ride quality is improved over stock in most all situations.

Works with both standard and sport suspension struts.

Also, don't forget to check out a  Swaybar to help reduce undertsteer. Combined these two will make a HUGE change in your daily commute!

M7 Cross Brace add-on (R56)
Our Price: $115.00

For those of you that have already bought the R56 SRPs and are looking to upgrade to the Strut Tower Brace, M7 offers the Cross Brace add-on. The SRPs are actually the same base plates for the Strut Tower brace so the only thing you need to do is remove the M7 sticker and bolt the Cross Brace in place.

When you combine the Cross Brace with the SRPs, you end up with the exact same thing as the Strut Tower Brace: anti-mushrooming technology coupled with the ability to strengthen up the front end of your MINI.

Remember that the Strut Tower Brace has two different brackets to choose from: one works with both the stock intake and the M7 Super AGS. The second bracket works with the M7 AGS-R.

Please Note: This is a pre-order pricing. We expect the Cross Braces to arrive in the office from manufacturing in early August.
Limited Time Pricing: Many of you have called and ordered SRPs in lieu of the Strut Tower Brace knowing that the ability to upgrade was only a few months away. If you wanted the Strut Tower Brace but settled for the SRPs at this time, we wanted to give you a fair deal on the product you originally wanted. This limited time pricing (the difference between SRPs and STBs) is to ensure that you don't pay extra for having to wait.

If you have not already ordered the SRPs and want the Strut Tower Brace, please place a order.

M7 Strut Tower Brace (R56)
Our Price: $199.00

With a product as successful as the M7 R53 Strut Tower Brace, we'd be crazy not to offer it for the R56.... Well HERE IT IS!

Th M7 R56 Strut Tower Brace features anti-mushroom base plates that are about 1/2" thick. We decided to keep this design feature from the previous generation since mushrooming didn't seem to leave the design of the MINI. The M7 R56 Strut Tower Brace adds extra rigidity to the front of your MINI while enhancing the looks of your engine bay. We also kept the multi-piece design to allow service to the engine without having to remove the entire brace.

The multi-piece design has also allowed us to create different brackets for different intakes. The stock bracket will fit the OEM intake as well as the M7 Super AGS. A special bracket is required for the AGS-R and can be chosen below as a replacement to the stock bracket.

The M7 R56 Strut Tower Brace will be arriving in early August. We are taking pre-orders right now to build up a wait list. If you order the R56 STB with other products, they will not ship together unless you note that you are willing to wait for it all to arrive at one time. Other parts of the order are subject to being charged and shipped out at an earlier time.  Please call our office with any concerns.
