which wilwood kit
its time for me to upgrade my brakes and i would like to do a BBK. wilwood looks like the best value and i was wondering which size to go with. I run kosei k1's, 17x7.5 with a 45 offset so i dont THINK clearance wont be an issue. Tce seems to have great prices and i have narrowed it down to the 12.2 and 13 inch kits. any advice? also, what is the differance between the FSL and the dynaprow caliper? thanks

See
https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...wilwood+brakes
There is a listing of BBK and wheels that fit.
What do you use your MINI for? Street only, any track, driving school, autocross?
Why do you need a BBK?
The bigger the brake kit the less clearance you have for wheels.
Some kits weigh less, a consideration.
BBK sometimes require spacers for wheel clearance- before you buy check this-

TCE has a downloadable template to check clearance, might be a good idea to use it. As to the differences in the calipers, looking at the Wilwood site doesn't really help, it's full of marketing speak. Call Todd and ask what would best suit your needs. He's really very good at specing out the right system for you.
