FAO MIDAS
Hi. Can anyone help me with how I would go about with installing discs and calipers
on my rear wheels? I've googled and all it shows is the fronts.
Many thanks

People will tell you they are not needed on a mini.
However, it's you car so if you want them, fit them.
It doesn't have to be just for percieved performance benefits, it could be for ease of setup, less maintenance, or just you like their look. It's your choice.
I have the KAD kit and they work great. Do I need them, maybe not, but I fitted them and have no regrets.
Fitting is simple and the kit comes with instructions.

The rear brakes on a Mini, any Mini, only do around 20 per cent of the braking.
With disc brakes on the rear, the problem is getting them warm enough to actually work.
For road use they are unnecessary, whilst even for competition (if allowed by the regulations) there seems little point.
