Kim at Markel Mini Omaha is the best
I'm not sure why Handsome Rob (not very original) feels it is necessary to slam such a great person. Kim has always been more than fair with us and I won't take my business anywhere else. Hey Rob, take a look at yourself before you put in print nasty things about others. I'm from Nebraska and know your roots. Look in the mirror and see if handsome really fits.

I agree, this is an enticing upgrade. What are your thoughts now that you've had them a few days? Everyone else I know that has the JCW kit is satisfied with them. Should I take the plunge?
Morristown Mini has the brakes on sale for less than $700.00 now. I bought mine when they were priced around $850.00. They do ship them fast 2. It only took 3 days and I'm about 1200 miles away from them. Check their website. They have all sorts of JCW stuff on sale.

I really like them. I am still trying to wear them in properly, but over all I am really satified with them. It does't take alot of effort to stop anymore. Just a nice little touch is all you need. I also feel more confident during abrupt stops or hard cornering. I will tell you that it does take alittle getting used to. After we got them installed, we were on our way home and I came up to the first stop and I almost threw us through the windshield. My stock brakes took alittle more effort to stop, but these dont.
I say that if the price is right and you are looking to upgrade your brakes, then go for it. If your not for sure, try to find someone that has the upgraded JCW brakes and see if you can take it out for a drive. I will tell you that you cannot go wrong with the JCW upgrade. It is a good choice.

Well it is day 4 and no major issues to speak of except for me not wanting to get out of the driver seat to go to work. I would rather spend my days just motoring around. Just wishful thinking. Anywho, all is well. Still driving great. I cant wait till I get the JCW injectors installed and get some new rubber on him.
I think I have developed the infamous "Goodyear Runflat Tire" noise. I think its time for new rubber.
Im still trying to find time to download my pics, so just be patient and Ill get them on here soon.

Well its been over a week and still no issues to speak of with the exception of that damn tire noise. Besides that no other issues. Hes running real good. I am very pleased with the work. My brakes are fully broken in and I just love em! They have great stopping power with little effort.
I am still trying to get all of my pictures downloaded. Hopefully in the next couple of days I will have them up.
