Yes, these are them
These are the legendary CravenSpeed strut tower defenders, well known in the MINI R53 community for many years. Best quality, best support.

Fit nicely, hardware included, some torque specs would be nice.
I could hear the strut towers cry out in agony as they were slowly bent back into place as the bolts were tightened. If you have an R53, you probably need these.

Easy to install, really works
Really work and easy to install. Prevents mushrooming, a common issue with the Gen 1 Mini. Car now absorbs bumps better with the added support to the frame/strut.

easy to install and makes a big difference
my strut towers were already mushroomed quite a bit, and the JCW suspension is very stiff compared to other minis, so I needed something after straightening the strut towers to reinforce them. this was an easy install without removing the struts from under the tower. can actually feel a difference in tight turns now

Brackets are awesome and fit perfectly, hardware isn't really gonna last.
These bracket are absolutely amazing and I love them they fit perfectly and are going to protect these shock towers for years to come. The hardware however that's another story. The metal is too soft and just installing them it started to Mar up after putting Any torque on the stud extensions so I hope the manufacturer will correct this manufacturing defect.

The product came without all of the parts shown.
I purchased this product and it came without the parts shown in the picture. The hex nuts, small washers, large washers, and custom bolt adapters did not not come in the package even though the Cravenspeed website says they do and the they are pictures in the product picture. I would be happy to change my review if I received these parts.

Excellent reinforcement of Strut tower in my 04 Mini Cooper S
Excellent product. Getting Installed on my car as I write this. Only thing I noticed was some chips and scratches on one of the reinforcements which accounts for the 4 star vs 5 star....
