Stiffen Your Chassis to Improve Handling.  NM Engineering’s Upper Tie-Bar is designed to reinforce the already stellar MINI Cooper chassis. Installation reduces fore and aft, as well as side-to-side chassis flex during spirited driving, which helps to eliminate unwanted geometry/alignment change. This results in better steering response and better handling.

Superb Engineering & Quality

• Strong mounting plates made from 6061-T6 
  
  • Machined underside  to clear upper strut bearing locator pin
  • Hard anodized finish is long lasting
• Twin mounting bolts secure bar to mounting plate to eliminate pivoting
  
  • Single bolt designs will flex when put under load - reducing effectiveness
