I recently spec'd out the new Countryman and am now prepared to move ahead on production of both front and rear TCE/Wilwood big brake kits.

Base offerings at this time:

13 x 1.10 DP6 caliper shod front kit.
12.2 x .375 rear rotor enlargement kit.

Final pricing is still up in the air a bit but....for all practical purposes were likely looking at $13-1400 for the front kit and $579 (as is the norm) rear kit.

This new product is catering to the spirited street driver and offers an increases in thermal mass, fade resistance, improved modulation and long life. While the DP6 drives up cost over the standard TCE use FSL caliper it's my belief that the value of differential bores and the need for a good low profile mount caliper trumps the need for fat pads and more hard core track model calipers.

So here we are....I have parts. You have a Countryman. We should talk. First one always gets the deal!

 

Question: What's the wheel requirements for these BBK's? Would they fit under the stock 17" and 18" wheels?

 

PM sent

 

For those who have asked:

Right now the focus is on 13 front and 12.2 rear. I'll look some more today on the question of fit with regard to clearance. The 13s will have no problem in a 17" wheel which was on the car here.

As for larger sizes and running 18s that's certainly in the cards if someone wishes to pursue it with me. At that point we'd probably do a 14/13 combo and use the matching Wilwood combo caliper as found on the regular TCE and Wilwood rear kits. Price however is an issue for many folks here....you're pushing $3500 front and rear which may limit the interest.

 

Front kit update:

Pricing for the front kit is $1395
Drilled and slotted ADD $135
Red (color) ADD $125

Looking for the 'beta' test fit customer it's open to a flat 20% discount and free shipping. Making the final cost as low as $1116.

Anyone interested, please give me a shout!

 

Still looking.....not overly shocked....I'm just not sure the Countryman is going to lend itself to this type of product so soon. All in due time.

 

Opportunity still here for someone! No calls, no pms, no emails....just not feelin the love for this plan yet?

 

I wish you were in NYC.

 

Yea, but then I'd have to charge more for the kit! lol

If you're seriously interested I can work with a local to do the test fit etc and ship to you. Won't get quite the discount as I'd have to comp him for some time also of course.

 

todd any pics of kit on a countryman yet

 

Pretty much just a bracket sitting on my desk. Never found anyone interested in working with me to finalize it.

Looks wise it's the same as the other 13" DP6 kits. The only difference being the fit of a wider rotor and the required bracket to adapt it.




If you're interested, let me know and we can discuss the needs some more.

 

Just a brief update for CM owners reminding everyone that the TCE/Wilwood big brake kits are a reality! And parts are in stock for a short build time for your project.
