I received my DynaPro 4-piston calipers (front kit) GT Slotted Rotors and there's only one input for the brake lines, where is the input for the ABS input?
Also will these calipers fit clearance wise using my OEM R104 Crown Spoke rim and has a 48mm offset.
I used a DynaPro caliper on my mini before, there is no ABS sensor that goes to the caliper. Do you mean the pad wear sensor? Not all pads have a slot for that. I would just zip tie it out of the way.

But the Wilwood website says it does work with the ABS system.
Edited: The ABS system connects to the spindle and not the caliper while the ABS system provides needed braking to all wheels.
The Enkei Race wheels are very BBK friendly with respect to clearance to the wheel spokes, and the Wilwood 12.19” kit is very wheel friendly. I run my 16” MINI Cooper wheels with those brakes, without spacers. So, diameter wise you will be fine. I really liked my 17” version of those wheels.
But a question - why go with the 16” wheel instead of the 17”? If I remember correctly, those 2 sizes are about the same weight and there is a better tire selection for the 17” wheels.
Go with the 5mm spacer. MINIs like the wider track and you can get them most anywhere. Try Way Motors, ECS, MINI Mania, Turner Motorsports, Any BMW parts place (Bavarian Motorsports, I think is one) for the bolts. You don’t necessarily want “cheap” when it comes to the bolts.
Hi, I know this topic start so many years ago, but I would like to contribute.
I installed the wilwood 12.2" kit 4 pistons kit and wheels 17" BBS R90 two pieces, NO spacer required, it has enough clearance.
After installation, the big difference is that after a hard brake the ABS react faster than original brakes, I mean, with regular brakes I need to push the pedal to bottom in order to notice ABS, now, it appears with less force in the pedal, In my opinion it is expected.
Nice, very tight and yes they will grab early and send into abs, on the gen 2 MINIs you can have it flashed at the dealer, Gen 1 MINI like yours you just bed them in and drive on a while and they will grab less with age and time. Plus you will get use to it and be able to modulate the pedal with your foot,.
Difference is also likely due to different brake pads. Note that the Wilwood’s have a smaller total volume, so it takes less pedal movement to operate the brakes making them feel firer.
