have brakes been changed in 06?

i have someone asking me about my stock 06 brake set f/s and i'm not sure of the answer...

question is, will the brakes off my LATE 2006 fit any cooper S prior to Nov.06? If not, what changed?

I'm aware of the 14mm change in wheel bolts but not of a brake change...anyone??

Somewhere around 07/2006, MINI switched to a 294x22mm rotor from the prior 276x22mm rotor in the front... As such, you'd have the 294mm rotors if you have a post 07/06 build date.

I'm not sure if swapping rotors and calipers will work or not - maybe someone else would know? I don't believe that the hub changed, so it should work if you're selling calipers and rotors...

i should mention, i'm selling, calipers/rotors/pads/brake lines

so if the rotor changed (got bigger), is the caliper mount identical?
