What style ducts do you have?
The two primary types I know of are:
1. The JCW challenge with the hard duct roughly pointing toward the caliper.
2. The other kind feeds in from the fog light as does the JCW challenge, but instead uses a flexible hose duct and shoots the air directly onto the rotor on the opposite side of the hub from the caliper.
3. Or maybe you have something completely different?

The Big Brake kits add rotating mass (slows ya down) , costs me 2 points I would rather use elsewhere, and takes a knife and slits a hole in the bottom of my wallet. Right now I can eat up rotors like they are butter and who cares. they are $40 ea from tirerack. Put big brakes on and chew up your rotors with aggressive pads and it costs you a fortune to replace em.
From what I understand the #2 style, (aka Sneed's Speed Shop style), is more effective than #1. However, I do not have data to back that up, it does make sense though. I am sure you do have to periodically replace the hose though.
Do JCW parts eat points? Since they are OEM, maybe they don't?

There is no way I can even get close to that on the back of my R53. I would have to have a long session with the Sawsall before I could even get close to that meat fitting.

Most 15s will clear R56S brakes, which BTW is the same as R53 JCW brakes, except for the pretty paint. R56 JCW brakes though, are way too large for most, maybe all 15" wheels.

FWIW F1 cars use 13 inch wheels and outstop anything........

they also have way more grip/lighter than anything and are having overheating issues plus those brakes are insane

but A 911 has better components and more power... given equal drivers, the stock 911 will prevail...
that was exactly my point.........did it go over your head Mike?
the geometry of the mini is what makes it handle so well, that is why i bought one because that made FWD not an issue for me (I used to say only rwd cars is what ill buy)... given equal components, it is hard to beat a mini
Havent seen my boss in a while so not sure, But that thing is scary fast... 200whp over stock form while weighing less than a mini...lol
