One of the original parts first manufactured by M7 Speed back in 2002 is now even better. We have taken this tested and proven design and improved on it. The Gen 1 MINI SRP Kit (Strut Reinforcement Plate Kit) now includes six custom made self aligning acorn nuts for full thread engagement and extra holding power.‚ The M7 SRP Kit will protect your strut towers against mushrooming caused by destructive potholes, unmaintained roads and aggressive curb jumping.‚
Extremely durable, the 1/2" (13mm) thick plates come in sets of two (left and right) and are made from CNC machined aircraft grade 6061-T6 aluminum that is beautifully black anodized to prevent corrosion and and some underhood beauty. Our plates cover the‚ ENTIRE‚ surface of the strut tower top (not just where the upper strut mount meets the tower) to evenly distribute suspension loads over the largest possible area available.
Through the years Gen 1 MINI owners have had one common complaint: the strut towers mushroom after heavy suspension impacts or after the addition of low aspect ratio tires or coil over kits. The MINI's shock towers deform and bend as much as 1/2" [13mm] upwards, throwing the suspension out of alignment and making it difficult to realign.‚ 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 Reinforcement Plates (SRPs) solve this problem by sandwiching the sheet metal between the strut top plate and an extra thick SRP, creating an extra strong composite top surface that will not bend.
If mushrooming is your problem or concern, then the M7 Strut Reinforcement Plates offer the solid solution. Adding the M7 SRPs to your MINI is an inexpensive preventative measure to what could be an expensive fix if you let a repair shop or body shop attempt it.. Thousands of sets have been sold over the years.
Installation is an easy 10 minute DIY project. The installation kit includes simple instructions that also address fixing existing mushrooming.‚
KIT INCLUDES
- One Left Hand strut reinforcement plate
- One Right Hand strut reinforcement plate
- Six closed top self aligning acorn nuts
Please Note:‚ The M7 Gen 1 SRP Plates will fit all R50 R52 and R53 base and S models

FAQs
Will I need an alignment after installing?
Yes. Any suspension change requires a professional alignment to ensure proper handling and even tire wear. Most shops include this as part of standard suspension work.
How will this affect ride quality?
Depends on the part. Lowering springs on stock shocks give a firmer ride. Coilovers are adjustable — soft for daily, firm for track. Air suspension lets you change height and feel on the fly. The spec sheet describes ride character for this product.
Is this product adjustable?
Coilovers and air suspension are adjustable for both height and damping. Lowering springs are fixed-height. The adjustability range for this product is in the spec sheet.
Can I install this myself?
Doable for builders with spring compressors and basic mechanical experience, but most go to a shop — faster, safer, and alignment gets done in the same visit. If you've never done suspension, a shop is the safer call.

They look amazing, and after using ChatGPT to help me understand how to install them (because the instructions were not very helpful whatsoever), I’m glad with how they turned out. My problems are that the lights aren’t too bright, the instructions weren’t helpful, and the arrival date was wrong, even if they arrived early.

This isn’t on K2, but the lenses came In which I was thrilled about. I’d already removed my OEM lenses from their housings. The passenger side lense fit well and mostly flush. The driver side, however, looks like it was slightly warped and caused poor fitment and what looks like a small dip in the red portion of the lense. I had no choice but to use them, as my OEM lenses were no longer usable. It can be very difficult to get replacement lenses in a timely manner for a Del Sol. I drive my car everyday, so I had to just go with it. Again, not a K2 issue but presumably the manufacturer.
Fit perfect

This rear bumper fits great the only thing is the trunk button on the bottom is cut a little to wide but that’s an easy fix it looks great and definitely makes the rear look more aggressive. I love it!
looks and feels great!!
2004 subaru lip fit grate no complains about it came perfect ✔️
2004-2005 Subaru Impreza WRX DS Unpainted Black Front Bumper Lip PU
The box was a little crushed, but the line was packed well and it wasn't a problem. The instructions are 3 pages of color pictures and lots of explanations. Very nice. The line itself is a very nice bit of kit with a swivel AN line end that allows a No-tension install. No leaks so far and it looks great. It came with new banjo bolts and copper crush washers. The only criticism I have is that I would have liked this hose coated in black so it disappears like the original, but it does look good, so I don't mind.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know this will actually fit my car?
How do I know this will actually fit my car?
Every part listing shows compatible years, models, and trims. But here's the thing—trim packages and factory options can be confusing. If you're not 100% certain, text us at 772-277-2495 with your VIN or photos of your car. We've done this for 30,000+ builds. We've seen every weird trim combo and factory option.
What if the part arrives damaged or is the wrong item?
What if the part arrives damaged or is the wrong item?
Inspect your part before you sign for it and note any damage on the delivery receipt. Then email support@k2-industries.com with photos within 48 hours of delivery. Our team handles it with the carrier and the supplier, so you don't have to.
Can I install this myself or do I need a shop?
Can I install this myself or do I need a shop?
Depends on the part. Emblems, front lips, some spoilers, bolt-on, DIY-friendly, you can do it in your driveway with basic tools. Full bumpers, hoods, wide-body kits, possible for experienced DIYers but most people take them to a shop for paint and install. Check the product description for installation difficulty. If you're unsure, text us. We'll be honest about whether you can handle it or if you should take it to a pro. We'd rather you know upfront than get frustrated halfway through.

Do you offer financing?
Do you offer financing?
Yes. Affirm and Shop Pay available at checkout for orders over $50. Split payments over 3-12 months depending on order size. No hard credit check to see your options. Most people use this for big-ticket items like body kits, suspension setups, or wheel/tire packages. Rates vary based on credit. You see the monthly payment before you commit. Makes it easier to build now instead of waiting months to save up.
What if I have questions after I receive the part?
What if I have questions after I receive the part?
Text 772-277-2495. We don't disappear after you buy. Fitment questions, installation issues, "does this bolt go here" questions... we'll walk you through it. We've installed these parts ourselves or helped hundreds of people install them. You're not getting transferred to a call center in the Philippines. You're texting someone who's actually installed your part before. If we can't help remotely, we'll recommend a local shop that knows these parts.
Why should I buy from K2 instead of eBay/Amazon/other sites?
Why should I buy from K2 instead of eBay/Amazon/other sites?
eBay and Amazon sellers don't answer fitment questions. They don't verify your VIN before shipping. They don't handle freight damage claims for you. If something goes wrong, you're filing disputes and waiting weeks. We're builders selling to builders. We're not the cheapest, but you're not gambling $800 on whether a part fits. You're paying for support, verification, and someone who cares if your build goes sideways.

How much does shipping cost and when will I see the total?
Depending on where you're located, small parts can ship free. Large parts like bumpers, hoods, and body kits require freight shipping. You'll see the exact cost at checkout before you pay. Freight usually runs $150-$300 depending on size and your location. We know it's expensive. We negotiate the best rates we can. If you're ordering multiple large parts, text us. We can sometimes combine shipping and save you money. We're not hiding fees in the final step. What you see at checkout is what you pay.
