A few people have expressed interest in both JCW Brakes, and the JCW Front Strut Brace, so I have gone ahead and organised a group buy on these parts.

GROUP BUY DETAILS

• The dealer I am using is located in Hamilton (Newcastle BMW/MINI representative) and I have done my best to ensure the prices on offer are the best available for purposes of a group buy.
  
• We will need at least 2 (two) buyers of each or either part to ensure the Group Buy price offered.
  
• You may purchase either part, or both parts - you are under no obligation to purchase both in this GB.

*phew*

Think I've pretty much covered it


I'll let this run a few weeks - pending interest.


Cheers peeps, and happy JCW bits buying.

Does any one already have the JCW Strutbrace fitted? Apparantly a lot of Strut braces like Whiteline foul on the inner bonnet lining and actually make the bonnet stick up at the back a little higher than normal....

I was wondering if the JCW one did the same?? Dont want to put anyone off... just interested.

Todd

[ScottyB]

Al - and as far as I know, its fine.

[Tit]

I test fitted a whiteline to my car - and the bonnet wouldn't shut....the bar came off another 03 MCS....and there were no probs there....so who knows....

It would be an absolute joke (albeit not surprising) if JCW's own bits didn't fit on a mini!!

[Todd!]

A birdy told me these are very good prices.

[Tit]

For the brake kit...those are good prices..!

*looks at moths in wallet*

[ZapoMCS]

I am interested in both. I just would like to find instructions of how to fit the parts and can delivery to Brissy be arranged before committing to the buy.

Does anyone know of fitting instructions for the brake kit and brace?

Scotty, would I have to arrange my own courier for the parts to Brissy?

Cheers.

Gary.

Gary,

Dealer will ship within NSW; I have shipping prices within NSW - but will go back to dealer tomorrow and find out shipping to Brisbane for you And if they will do it or if you will need to organise it yourself.

Cheers,
Scotty

[ScottyB]

Zapo,

Information on fitting the Brake Kit yourself can be found here:

JCW Sport Brake Kit Review

and for the strut brace, try:

JCW Strut Brace Install How To


Hope thats of some use.

Would be interested in the brakes if they can fit under my R83 5stars (will need approval, but I'll tell her its a safety feature, to protect the kids)

Just a bit confused, the pic shows red brakes, but the list only mentions rear brake pads So no red brakes on the back

• Two coated red floating brake calipers with the John Cooper Works logo for the front axle (improved caliper construction in comparison to standard brake)
• Brake pads integrated in the front calipers with enlarged brake pad surface area and enhanced performance
• Rear axle brake pads with enhanced performance
• Hardware required for installation
• Customer information with permitted wheel dimensions
• Information sticker that the car has been retrofitted with the JCW Brakes

There will be more on this shortly Apparently they will fit under the 16's, but the reason they are not 'officially' backed on the smaller wheel size, seems due to heat dissipation for heavy load work (such as track days).

Which pic shows rear brakes?

I've only seen the pic above, and thats just front brakes showing - you might have seen a UK Challenge car?

Will it be a problem with normal driving, and long distances eg Pacific Highway/ Buladelahs etc

Edited, wasn't looking properly

I have the strut brace on mine, while it does sit and touch the sound deadening material, and leave a mark in it, it didn't have any effect on the closing of the bonnet for me

I would add that both of these items are totaly Amazing and the strut brace is the best bit of kit, for such a small some, it changes the feel of the car

Well done on getting a GB sorted Scotty

[ScottyB]

Cheers for clearing that up Rakey

[Quickbrick]

Please put me down for a JCW strut-brace Scotty.

I'll combine shipping with Gary (ZapoMCS) and who-ever else comes on-board from Brissie

Gregg

[ScottyB]

Gregg.

I'll find out tomorrow what the shipping situation will be like to Brissy

[stuooz]

Hey Scott put me down for a strut brace, no fitting.... as for the brakes, Air conditioning for my unit or brakes... hmmmm... im sure Kel would kill me if i chose the brakes.. so guess its just the strut brace for me and a nice cool apartment for the summer..lol

your so going to love the brakes mate, under hard driving that feeling of standard brakes not stopping you is totally gone, and they also give you more confidence in leaving braking until later than the stock ones

[Rampant Lion]

I am keen on a strut brace but unable commit at this stage, when do you need the answer by?
