personaly i'd save your money and just buy some decent pads and disks and make sure you callipers are working properly, the standard mini set up in good condition is all the stopping power you'll need.

there is no real gain to metro calipers on a road car and and the extra unsprung weight is detrimental to handling

that's just my opinion tho

your very right lj... those metro calipers are only ideal if your gonna rest your foot on the brake pedal all the way down motorway then decide you want to brake very sharp at the end

.... and even then there brake fade is still quite bad. not ideal for track use really unless good discs and pads used. my opinion is ebc drilled discs and greenstuff pads and you will stop on a dime. should stop well anyway being a mini ??
