Due to the comprehensive nature of the AEM Intake ducting, Gen2 MINI owners were faced with a crucial decision: induction kit or strut brace? Now they can have their cake and eat it! Lohen stocks AEM’s Gen 2 MINI Strut Brace.This one-piece strut brace has been designed specifically to accommodate the AEM Intake fitted to MINI Cooper S & JCW models. It features a specific bend to the length of the brace, meaning it snugly fits around the induction kit’s air ducting. The brace is constructed of 1-1/2” steel tubing providing great strength and low weight. Bolting to the suspension turrets, it helps lock the top of the struts together to help prevent chassis flex in fast corners and extreme situations. One Piece Design Durable Construction Reduces Strut Movement Locks the Top of your Struts together The AEM brace does not fit N14 JCW's running the standard MINI air box. The AEM intake must be fitted to the N14 JCW for the AEM brace to fit. This is because the brace will foul on the MAF sensor and does not allow the brace to sit flat. Suitable for the following models MINI R55, R56, R57, R58, R59 Cooper S, JCW and GP variants.
