Is JCW brake kit worth the money?

For the money is the JCW brake kit worth the money?
Also how much improvement over stock is it?
I'm still not sure if this is the way I want to go or some other aftermarket
Kit.
Thank You

I think you should stay away from JCW break and get an after break like this one or some other.


$1,595.00

But why?

Can you give me some stopping figures vs stock.
That would be most helpful.
Thanks

After reading what JCW brakes system has and what the after market offer are more for you money.

Sample:
The AP Mini brake upgrade kit is unique in that it is engineered specifically for the Mini. Designed with an AP 4-Piston Direct Bolt caliper (no adapter bracket needed), a 12" cross-drilled one-piece rotor, and Goodridge stainless steel brake lines. The 4-Piston caliper features sequentially sized pistons to minimize pad taper and maximize even friction. The 12" rotors are directional 40 vein vented for maximum cooling and cross drilled for aggressive pad bite and proper out gassing. Stainless steel brake lines feature PTFE inner with a stainless steel outer braid for a firmer brake pedal and meet DOT, TUV and JAI specifications. Kit is compatible with ABS, requires no upgrade of the master cylinder, and fits with out the need for wheel spacers. Requires 17" Aftermarket wheels.

Any one have 60-0 on these or any other Brake kit VS stock?

I need some specs so I can justify cost to the benafits over stock.
