Phone the rep, he'll give you names of dealers near you.

Mention Mini2, as i told him I was doing a write up on them (we might be able to get some discount going)

Prob. no chance but worth a try.

Ps The pads are 1144

cheers mate, i'll give that a go, have you fitted them yourself, how have you got on with them?

JCG can do the 1155 compound for £150 fitted so I will ask about tham as well

They are excellent, much more bite, dont fade as much, no squeeling.

The 1144 are fast road, occasional track, but the 1155 are more track biased with higher temperature to run at.
I would worry about the 1155 on road if cold, they would not be as good- the 1144 are fine cold.

Follow Obehave's link to bed them in- this really worked. http://www.zeckhausen.com/bedding_in_brakes.htm

I paid £100 for them and got a friendly garage to fit them FOC as i had a lot of work done there.
