This customer purchased the item at our site.

This looks great installed. It is super easy to install although you may have a bit of trouble getting the bolts close to the edge unscrewed. As I have learned all of the things under the hood are in a tight, small space and sometimes it is difficult to use your regular tools as they bump into something immovable under the hood when turning. Can feel the difference in the suspension and needed to adjust technique in tight curves.

Advantages: Great looking, easy to install, fits over the AEM cold air intake system on my 2015 JCW Roadster.

Disadvantages: None and isn't that grand!

Details

If you have the AEM or DDM intake with the air scoop funnel, this is the only upper stress bar that we know of that will clear the intake and the funnel once installed. This bar may NOT fit on the stock airbox on the N18 model due to the Mass Air Flow sensor location, however we have not had any complaints about fitment when installed with the AEM intake.

This is one of the VERY few upper stress bars that will clear the hood funnel. AEM performance strut bars lock the tops of your struts together to reduce strut movement in extreme conditions. They are constructed from 1 1/2 inch steel tubing, providing great strength and and low weight. This is an absolutely fantastic product that is engineered very well and looks stunning. Aside from doing what it was engineered to do, it makes the engine bay of your Turbo MINI Cooper look complete. Super thick base plates (RED) could double as a strut tower plate while the cross bar is polished metal. AEM 29-0005R

Customers' comments

This is a review of the M12 stud conversion kit for the R53 MINI Cooper S. This is the second stud kit that I have installed. The first set was of much lessor quality and was totally worn out within six years of auto-x, track days and winter tire change-over.

These new studs appear to be far superior and slightly longer. I also like the unthreaded portion that allows lining up the nut to help prevent cross threading.

I do have one question; Do you recommend any using any lubrication on the threads of the studs?

Grill badges are adorable, you need a dog!!! or a Pit Bull head- NO ears chopped.

Out Motoring deserves kudos for their service! I was prepping for a road trip when less than two weeks prior I decided to upgrade two engine mounts and install a short shift adapter in my R53. Aaron and Brittany were hugely helpful in getting me ready! Brittany was able to find the mounts I wanted in stock, and Aaron helped me with info on the short shifter I was looking at. Brittany helped me again when I changed my mind, by modifying my order on the fly. They got the components to me in four days - plenty of lead time before my scheduled installation appointment and well in advance of the trip. BIG Thanks to Out Motoring for their help. This outfit will be at the top of my vendor list for future maintenance and upgrade needs.
