Hello Mini family!
Q? I have a 2014 Min Cooper S Coupe R58. I would like to convert my cooper s standard calipers to a JCW Brembo set or a BBK. Is it a direct swap/ fitment from JCW Brembo’s to Cooper S?
IF SO…
-What parts are needed to make it work and complete the conversion? JCW Brembo calipers, Brake lines, JCW size rotors, JCW Brembo Brake pads?
-Any other parts are needed to complete the install?

IF NOT…
-Any recommendations for a Big Brake kit?

I found a JCW Brembo style caliper on eBay from the UK Called Kinetix / Budweg high performance brakes. And im thinking of purchasing their set as it’s a replica design of the JCW Brembo caliper. It would be easy to simply purchase their caliper, brake rotor, pads and brake lines to have a new complete set for the front. Would this be a good thing to do or am I better off buying the official JCW set?

Your help and recommendations would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.

 

From what I remember reading on here somewhere, Budweg remanufactures JCW calipers and resells them. So they should be identical to the real deal.

What he said about Budweg…

You will need the calipers, pads of choice, brake lines, and the JCW 316mm rotors. Direct swap. Make sure you’re running 17” rims, too.

 

That is what I thought. JCW brakes do not fit inside the 16" rims.
