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 Sport Springs Std. Cooper R56
Our Price: $240.00

The factory has simply let us all down (or should I say UP) with the stock ride height of the R56 MINI. The way it should have been is about 1.4" lower! These are an excellent compliment to the R56! 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!
