A mechanic recently told me the popular US big brake kits: Stoptech, Wilwood, Brembo etc will not work on a 2006 R52 in the UK. That they are not compatible with the suspension on the UK car. Anyone able to elaborate on what or why that is?

Don't understand their advice to you. If you are ordering a 'big brake kit' for an R52 in the USA I can't see why it wouldn't fit an R52 in any other region of the World.

As far as I know, there is no difference in the suspension of MINIS built for customers in the UK or any other particular part of the World.

The only differences might apply between left and righthand drive cars (steering, interior etc).

Hopefully someone else with more BMW technical knowledge will be able to confirm this one way or the other.
