Has anyone spent out on the new Mini Sport brake kit yet? Is anyone likely to in the future? Can we believe the hype?
not available for months yet.

Also they’ll love to sell you a brake kit with “bespoke” parts - as they’ll keep making a buck every time you need spare parts in the future (assuming they keep making spares for decades to come)

I figure all the historic racers use 7.5” discs, so they should be more than fine for any A-Series road car

I'm not sure I have ever seen the historic boys using their brakes, they tend to pitch it sideways and nail the throttle.

I'm still not sure I would give mini sport £1000 worth of my money for a set of brakes though. Would KAD 4 pots be better?

That said I’d imagine the design and manufacture of these were outsourced like the Specialist Components monoblock calipers were and hopefully they’ve been through the relevant stress analysis.

My full FIA Mk.1 rally Cooper S stops extremely well with 7.5" solid discs and carbon-metallic pads with AP600 brake fluid.
