i think i read on the sticky that mini cooper 11' disc are a direct bolt on with out modifacaton is this true? an what model and yr mini? and if anyone has personaly done this can you let me no if it worked fine and any pics

 

11'? That is a hell of a rotor.
On a serious note, bolt on for what car?

 

For EG civics

 

There are guys who say that they have done it, but I have not found the right rotor to use yet. There are 276mm rotors (too small), and 294mm rotors (too big), but I have not found a 280-282mm rotor that works yet.

Supposedly the base Cooper, 2007+ is the right rotor, but I cannot confirm. The ones that I was given were 276s, and not as good a fit as a re-drilled Prelude rotor.

Given the cost difference - redrilling rotors, and machining caliper brackets, I still am going for the Honda ones.

 

the base cooper (coupe) has the 280mm rotors. the base convertible has 276.

 

That is what I thought, and why I started to do that. The rotor that I was given by the MINI dealer was only 276mm.

I will look into the aftermarket 280s, as I do think they would be easier to use.

Thanks,

 

Considering it's eleven feet, I don't think you will.

 

I keep hearing that there are mercury cougar 4x100 rotors 11.2 inch that work better. However I have searched and cannot find any part number or even a year of that car. I know the g60 rotors work but you need a hub centric ring. I have been looking at doing an oem big brake upgrade, but I have a 96 sedan lx. I cant get straight information on anything. I have read the brake experts thread, but I keep hearing about the cougar rotors that are the better fitment. Just cant find them, if you have any luck let me know.

 

this is what i need if only i new someone with a base mini that i could try them
