Suspension Brakes Most liked posts in thread: Brake upgrade help

my standard reply to all brake upgrade questions is: call Todd at TCE. he has products that will fit your needs. Great guy, knows brakes, knows MINI fitments......easy.

 

17"' wheels will allow up to 13" rotors if the proper caliper is used. For a low clearance application the DP6 option makes a great fit to about any wheel!

 

You'll have to get spacers of at least 1/2 inch to make them work together.

 

So true...

MINI wheels are very unforgiving with their offset distance if you want to get a big brake kit. I got my MINI with the same wheels and once test fit them on my Detroit Tuned BBK. 15mm was the only way I cleared the caliper. Don't forget to get wheel studs from Way!

 

Are you going to track the car?

If not, why do you think you need bigger brakes?

The standard brakes on the MINI are miles above "normal", and I do track my car and haven't run out of brakes yet - so why do you need the upgrade?

 

.....exactly
