JCW brake kit coming soon!
The official John Cooper Works (JCW) Sport Brake Kit should be available soon here in the USA according to Gabe at Motoringfile. I predict a $1,000 + price and they should fit nicely behind all factory Mini alloy wheels without modification. Bring it on BMW!

red paint, of course
:lo l:and the obvious...'works' sticker
the sticker alone shortens stopping distances by 35%

I was waiting patiently for the JCW brakes but the cost and specs are not a value. This post, number 54, on Mini2 puts it all in perspective:
Bad News :(
I received an answer from JCW :
"the JCW brake kit consists of
larger front discs,larger single pot sliding calliper bigger front pads,and higher temp rear pads,increasing braking
efficiency by 12%."
Only 1-pot calliper
The search begins anew.
