Hi Hubert,

To be fair it wasn't a full review but it wasn't based on brake bias, I think someone said that they were 'weak'. I know that one of the hong kong boys, cwwhk I think, loves his.
I've done a quick search but lots to trawl through - it's all definitely on Mini2 Forums.

I'd imagine brake bias isn't too much of an issue with EBD, and that tyre traction will break first anyhow. Big-brakes are more consistent stoppers rather than much better stoppers - especially at low speeds.

Nonetheless, I've always heard good things about APs (on Cosworths and the like), and am happy to go with the Brodie Bunch's recommendation.
