Description: CravenSpeed Strut Tower Defenders for 2002-2006 R50 MINI Cooper, R53 MINI Cooper S, and 2005-2008 R52 MINI Convertible. If you own a First Gen MINI Cooper and do some research you will find the front upper strut mounts are made from simple flat steel and are pretty weak. Since they are weak over time and hitting pot holes or bumps in the road they will bend. When they bend you will see the sheet metal on the body bend up. This bending up is commonly known as "mushrooming" as it makes a dome shape. This effects the alignment and can cause tire wear.These Craven Speed Strut Tower Defenders are the solution to prevent this bending and mushrooming. These plates can simply be installed in under five minutes as the bolt to the strut mounts on top of the towers and support the mount so it can't bend and ruin the alignment. The plates are almost a half inch thick which gives you the strength and support you need to protect the towers and mounts.
