I plan on doing it next year. The only deterrent for me is that bigger brakes mean having to buy larger wheels (i have 16" now) and tires so it will be an investment

Depending on the year of your MINI the JCW Brembo kit is a direct bolt on for the front. If it's a gen 1 car you need our conversion brake lines.

Conversion lines for R50 R52 R53 to install ANY R56 brakes JCW or not

Assuming you have a Gen1 or Gen2, as Way says it is a direct bolt on. I did it. Check if your wheels will clear, I needed a 5mm spacer up front.
