Yep.. he is very happy with them.. could not retro fit the rears YET!
Yes! they are the JCW sport brakes "brembos" 4 piston calipers and slotted drilled rotors.
anything is possible, IF one knows how to do it right.

So rears would not be issue for GP? Cause we got R56 trailing arms and bolts, right?

here some pictures from today iPhone still.
Yes rear is the same aluminium trailing arms on the GP and they have the same cone insert requirements as the R56 aluminium trailing arms, also same hub and bolt?
Just wish that car was in PA or CA so I can ask him if I could mount GP wheels to see if they clear.

I been trying to get a GP wheel for you to see, happens I had a GP in today so I took the picture..You going to need a 5mm spacer to clear otherwise is a go and they look stuffed!!! NICE
(GP wheels are not that easy to get your hands on... you pretty much have to buy internationally, because MINIUSA is super-uptight about it if you don't actually own a GP)
Yo thanks a million Diablo for info on GP wheels and BBK fittment and the pics. I will probably get those kinda expensive 7mm spacers from MINI Madness just to make sure it clears. Thank You again.

Thats a pretty good price, considering it comes with larger pre-painted (red) rear brakes too.

Have decided that if I can get hold of the kit Im going to fit them to my R53... I will need spacers with my R95s but think it will look awesome!!!
Just got to start hunting for the BBK... The pics above just make them look superb! You got any pics of the rear setup on the leccy blue MINI???

Hello, I wanted to do the same brake upgrade you did. Are the rears installed yet? But also wanted to know what type of issues you ran into while installing both front and rears.
