Description: Wilwood Engineering produces MINI big brake kits offered in two diameters; 11.75 and 12.2". Both kits utilize the strong and compact DynaPro caliper.

The smaller 11.75" kit fits 15" wheels, the larger 12.2" kit many 16s but requires minimal spacer for stock wheels.

The 11.75" kits offer a HD directional rotor for improved cooling and hard track use. The 12.2" kit is avaialable in either plain or SRP-drilled, slotted, and/or plated versions to suit the owner's request.

All kits include; two piece hat/rotors, DynaPro radial mount calipers (Fully booted on larger 12.2 kits), radial mount brackets, pads and hardware. Stainless steel brakelines sold separately.

Call Wilwood for a dealer near you.

Pros: Well designed package
Cons: Anodized Hats discolor with extreme use

I have the 12.2 Race kit and have not found it's limits. The brakes hold up well to hard track use when paired with the proper pads that suit your driving style. Included installation instructions are well detailed making the swap an easy prospect for the weekend mechanic. Pad changes are very easy, it takes longer to jack the car and remove the wheel then it takes to change the pads. The only ding against this kit is that the anodized hats change color under extreme heat. Thats normal for all anodized hats, but I wonder if the is a better way.

Overall I highly recommend the kit and TCE.

Pros: Incredible stopping power
Cons: What, are you kidding.

Way, http://waymotorworks.com/home.php, Put together an 11.75" kit for me complete with stainless brake lines and two sets of pads. One set for street and one for track days. I'm loving it. Great braking and room for smaller wheels on track days. I'm really impressed with Wilwoods quality and engineering. Changing pads doesn't get any easier. Fabulous product.

Pros: Great stopping power and light weight
Cons:

I've been using a Wilwood brake kit on my race car for a couple years now and it is Fantastic. The kit was lighter than stock but had super braking power. Also the 11.75 kit was small enough that I can fit 15inch wheels if I want. Pad changes only take about 30 seconds too.

Pros: Very high quality, not too expensive, easy to change pads
Cons:

I have front and rear kits on my 08 JCW and had them on my car for the last 15000 miles. They perform great and looks great.
