Performance Street Brakes Suggestions
Looking for brake suggestions for a R56 Cooper S that will be a performance street car. Eventually the track but just for now looking for something that will work great for the street. The GP2 kit is about $4200, Wilwood about half that. Are the Wilwood's any good?

The wilwood kits are great as we use them all the time.

But if you just need something for daily use just get some EBC reds and run them till you are ready for track use. Then can get track pads or a brake kit at that time.

MINI brakes are over engineered given the weight of the car .... you really don't need to change much for street use and even light track.
The OE pad material is soft and hence 'dirty' but gets good grab. Rotors are 'soft' too, and wear out fast as compared to many other cars ... but soft pads and soft rotors = great grab .....
For street use slotted or drilled rotors are bling
EBC pads are an easy yet effective step up. I used greens for a while until I tried reds (when they became available) and I understand why WAY recommends them. I'm a nanny driver, but these are a super low dust pad as compared to OE ... in addition to hangin' there in spirited use.
(my opinions are based on regular reading of the posts on this board for A LONG time ... and my experiences on my cars)
