| So will the "NEW" standard brake set up go straight on to the R53?? As said above it is basically the old JCW set up,but does it have different brackets??? As it doesnt carry a little JCW sticker i bet it doesnt carry the same price tag and could be a worthwhile upgrade. ![]() Taking care of business |

| Thanks. The Price List show them as GBP79.95, so I presume the additional GBP240 is to fit them!!! Maybe it will be worth waiting until the car is run in and needs new pads (although I'm on 85k with my Cooper on the same pads...). Let me rephrase my original question: Is it worth getting these fitted? I'm about to order a new MCS. |

| With larger brake discs and callipers at the front and special brake linings on the rear axle, this first-class braking system always provides immediate response with plenty of bite. Available for the new MINI Cooper and the new MINI Cooper S, (Wheel restrictions apply). This is straight of the Mini web site, it says bigger calipers and bigger discs..... |

| NO!!! Buy the parts, spend the extra money on a service manual and do it yourself! Replacing rotors (the disc potion) on a disc braked car is one of the easiest DIY jobs out there. Replacing pads isn't much tougher. If you have a jack, stand, lug nut wrench and a small selection of other sockets (or metric wrenches) this is an EASY job. MAYBE 15-20 minutes per wheel for the fist-timer. |
