The Big Pair Chassis Brace

CS-AA163-TP0

CravenSpeed

Light, Strong, Simple

The Big Pair is a heavy duty, highly rigid replacement for the OEM chassis braces found on 3rd Gen MINIs. While the OEM mass produced stamped steel counterparts were designed to be cheap to make, the CravenSpeed Big Pair was designed from the ground up to be as strong as possible while still keeping weight to a minimum. The difference is obvious. By limiting chassis flex you can reduce the twisting motion that accompanies torsional loading of the chassis in corners. Point is; if you are hitting the corners hard you'll notice better steering response, better turn-in, rotation and even reduced understeer.

Do it yourself!

Installing the Big Pair is about as straightforward as it gets. Because they are purposefully designed for the factory mounting points, it's simple to swap out those flimsy stock braces for the heavy-duty Big Pair. This is a direct bolt-on upgrade, meaning you won't need to do any drilling or permanent modification to your car. It’s a quick project that you can easily knock out in the driveway. If you want to see exactly what’s involved, we’ve got a complete installation guide available here .

Precision Fit for the F56

This kit is engineered specifically for the F56 2-Door Hatch (2014-2024). Because it isn't a 'universal' 3rd Gen part, the fitment is exact for unmatched stability and rigidity. It doesn't matter if you have a base Cooper, a Cooper S, or a JCW; if you're driving an F56, this is the chassis reinforcement you need to sharpen up your handling.
