Brake upgrade review

Hi I am looking for a set of 4 rotor and pad upgrade. I am thinking of RacingBrake @ Pilo because they are on speical. However, at my mini dealer, they has a set of Brembo and power rotor. Any feedback from users??

If you track your MINI - shy away from drilled rotors as they will have a tendency to stress crack at the holes. Slotted are good, plain are even better with a quality race pad.

No track - street only? Get whatever you think looks the coolest!

i track maybe 10-12 days a year but can't afford a big brake kit. right now i'm using carbo-tec XL8 in the back and XL 9 in the front. they are quite grabby when they are hot. not good for driving around town.SS lines and ATE superblue fluid.
