Japanese brake layouts are a bit different to european. You'll find that the Porsche BBK is used widely for other brands including VW, SEAT and some BMW's.
You could probably do it on a different Jap car but not a Mini. I say not possible as the costs involved in trying to fit them would be LARGE. You'd be better off buying the GTT kit.
I highly recomend the Brembo BBK which I have.
