JCW Big Brake Kit for F54 F55 F56

If you have seen the new JCW you may have noticed the huge JCW brakes. Well we have the kits in stock and already have customers getting them installed so I thought I'd post up the pics as the kit includes everything you need, and these things are huge.






The kit is a direct bolt on and works as well as it looks. The front calipers are made by Brembo too.

Are the rear rotors ventilated? Stock are actually solid and unventilated at least in my '14 S..

Will this work with the base Cooper Hardtop (withB38 engine) and 16 inch wheels ?

The rear rotors are sold. Heck the fronts are not even drilled they are actually just dimpled and slotted.

It will work on a Base Cooper, but not behind 16 inch wheels. These fronts are massive.

How about the Enkei RPF1 17" 5 Lug Racing Light Weight Wheel that are listed on your website, will they clear the JCW big brake calipers ?

These are by far the best OEM brakes MINI has ever offered. That said, wheel fitment is absolutely difficult since the caliper is so thick. If you're retrofitting them onto a Cooper or Cooper S, you will almost certainly need new wheels. None of the OEM wheels will fit, even with aggressive spacers.

NM will have the RSe12 & RSe52 to fit the JCW BBK specifically in about a couple months (18x8). It's a start.
