Hello everyone..

I have a Mini Cooper S John Cooper Works from 2006 with the JCW brake kit from factory.


I want to buy the Big brake kit From Stoptech, and i have contacted JscSpeed.
They say that, the big brake kit will not fit wit the JCW brakes..

I don't understand whY ?? Can anybody help me ?
Does anybody that has and JCW brake kit put one of Stoptech ?

I'll wait foward for some help..

Thanks

 

It;s a complete replacement, calipers, rotors, brackets and lines. Can't see why it won't work.

Stoptech has some great brakes but your wheel choices will be very limited. If a BBK is what you desire then look to TCE or TSW for ones that will offer more wheel choices. TCE can also make one up on the fly to you needs.

JCW brakes are pretty darn good, just wondering why you want to go with Stoptech or a BBK at all,

 

yeah.. it's a complete replacement, and i think the the supports for the calipers are the same of OEM, because the people that have OEM brakes can put the JCW brake kit without any problems.

I want the Stoptech BBK because i have two rotors of stoptech with brembo calippers already adapted on the rear of my car, and i'm waiting to buy the front kit so i can mount everything. If the front BBK is OK, i will have 4 330mm rotors on the car. That's awesome.

But i don't want to spend money on one thing that will not fit, and i can't return it.

 

Let me say this in the nicest way I can.

That's stupid...

Your brake balance between the front and rear will be very wrong. Way to much bias to the rear of the car. You'll be able to lock up the rears first compromising the ability of the fronts that do most of the braking. What you propose is just flat out dangerous.

 

Gnat is right but also why do you want to have brembo calipers in the rear and stoptech in the front....that's not gonna look right! Let's pretend there is nothing wrong with your setup (which there is) why wouldn't you want to put Brembo calipers in the front????

Dude do yourself a favor and check out the brake kits on Todd's (TCE) website. You'll see all the rear setups are not the same size as the fronts for a reason.

On another note....Gnat can it even be possible to run front calipers on the rear?? what about parking cables, mounting brackets differences, etc??

Forget what i said about the rear kit... i know what i'm doing..
My question is... Does the BBK of stoptech fit in my JCW without any problems ?

TCE only has Wilwood for the Mini, and i don't like those brakes... i want Stoptech...

 

Call and ask Stoptech.

Most BBK use a bracket to mount the caliper to the hub so I see no reason why it wouldn't work.

 

what is the name of these rims?????

plz tell me

 

Tenzo Mach-10 I believe?

 

Thanks alot

 

Stpotech's BBK will fit your front just fine. All the JCW parts are being removed and replaced with new parts.

JCW or not; makes no difference as the brackets for the Stoptech kit will bolt to your spindles.

And if they offer the kit with only M12 holes you can easily make them M14 for larger lugs.
