The stock brakes on the 1st Gen Cooper and Cooper S models are the same.

I went for after market with DBA's and Ferodo's and did them myself (well the ex did them I watched :P ) I am very happy with them. A few of the guys on here have done the JCW brake upgrade and have been happy too - just depends what your after and how much you want to spend.

I got the rotors from Autobarn and the pads from a place in Canberra.
I think it cost me about $1k but that was a while ago - I am sure it would be cheaper now.
But it didnt cost anything to fit......

Whats the price of the JCW brake kit?
