Perhaps the most appropriate big brake upgrade kit made for the MINI.
The John Cooper Works front axle sport brake has an improved thermal capacity, due to the larger internally ventilated rotors. Enlarged front axle brake pistons and sport brake pads on the front and rear axle enhance the performance of the brake. The JCW Brake Kit provides considerably more bite and gives the driver a more direct pedal response. Compared to the standard brake, a greater deceleration can be achieved with the same pedal force. To distinguish the JCW Sport Brake from a standard brake, the brake calibers come with a powder-coated red finish and a large visible John Cooper Works logo. The JCW Brake Kit includes:
Two internally ventilated brake rotors 294mm x 22 mm for the front axle
Two coated red floating brake calipers with the John Cooper Works logo for the front axle (improved caliper construction in comparison to standard brake)
Brake pads integrated in the front calipers with enlarged brake pad surface area and enhanced performance
Rear axle brake pads with enhanced performance
Hardware required for installation
Customer information with permitted wheel dimensions
Information sticker that the car has been retrofitted with the JCW Brakes
Fits the following wheels without any spacers:
R85 17" S-Lite Wheel
R87 16" Double Spoke Wheel
R90 17" Two Piece Cross Spoke Wheel
R91 17" 5-Star Bullet Wheel
R95 18" John Cooper Works Wheel
R98 17" Web Spoke Wheel
R99 17" Double Spoke Wheel
Will most likely fit many other wheels with small wheel spacers sold separately. No data is available as to the cross section of the caliper and rotor at this time.
This is a great perormance upgrade that is actually one of the most reasonbly and very competitively priced parts that MINI's JCW kit has to offer.
