If keeping it Mini, consider:
R53 Works brakes
R56 regular brakes (same size as R53 Works, but without the red paint and stickers)
R56 Works Brakes (needing spacers for most mini wheels, plus some new front hoses).

R56 Brembo's :biggrin:

Or a good value alternative would be R56 regular brakes (paint the calipers) with Mintex 1144 pads:wink:

I've bought a strutbrace & a few engine bay bling bits from them, all good quality, especially the Aerobox strutbrace :wink:

The Porsche brake kit they do looks immense, there's a second hand set for sale on Minitorque at the moment GTT porsche brake kit (http://www.minitorque.com/forum/f229/gtt-porsche-brake-kit-27573/) :nice:

Don't use the Halfords paint, Demon Tweeks red works better :p :wink:
