Am I the first one?

I have just ordered a BBK from Detroit Tuned. Before I say anything, Chad Miller is an awesome person to deal with. He is always around to answer questions and he makes it very easy to understand brakes if you are a novice, like me I have heard nothing but great things here on NAM and in my local community about his BBK and products in general. However, when I ordred today, Chad told me I was the first to have ordered this kit for the R56? Is this true? Anyone else have it or ordered it?

If not, I will have to make sure to take many pics of install and give everyone feedback on fitment and feel when they go on.

Currently I am running: Detroit Tuned SS Brakes Lines

Package inculdes: The two 4 piston aluminum Calipers, a selection of a 16 or 17 inch kit two piece rotor (16 = 11.6x1.2 inch rotor, 17=12.8x1.2 inch rotor), front SS brakes lines, your choice of highly regarded brake pads for the front, brakets and hardware, and the option to cryo the rotors for track use.

I also opted to get rear pads, Hawk HPS, to match the front, extra ate 4 racing blue fluid, and chose the BLACK caliper to go with the theme of my MINI.

I have a factory sport suspension, with 7.0 x 17 Team Dynamics 1.2's. I was told from both Outmotoring, where I bought the wheels, and Chad that there shouldn't be any fitment issues as these wheels even clear the JCW Brakes with 3/4 of an inch of space. Just in case anyone was wondering what wheels I had.

So again, anyone else? Later!
