Wilwood's Installed

I finally got my Wilwood BBK installed. Todd at TCE was great to work with This made a huge difference in the way the Mini stops. Super happy with it. These are the 4 piston booted(street) calipers.









I also upgraded the rears with EBC red pads

Check the TCE site for pricing. I started with the Plus 2 street kit and built it from there, adding the cross drilled rotors, and silver/red finish. You will find the Wilwood kits to be among the most affordable BBK options. http://www.tceperformanceproducts.com/mini/kits-16/

I just checked the TCE site, on this kit, it states a minimum of 15" wheel with the 11.75 rotor. I hope Todd jumps in here soon to answer any questions.

All the specs are listed in the right hand column guys. Kit diameters relative to wheel diameter you have four different options in fact.

Overall this looks really great. I like the silver/red combo. I grow tired of the black and red stuff....! But then I thought the yellow was just awesome! (only took me months to sell it?)

Thanks again Todd! I'm super happy with the Wilwoods
