Hi I would like to swop my 8.4" discs for 7.5" system so I can run 10inch rims On my Mini K. I haven't had the car too long a few months so I didn't add the 8.4 inch brakes myself. I am considering just buying the discs, calipers and drive flanges Does that sound sensible or should I purchase the whole 7.5 system ? Is there any specific parts that could be worn out on the old system that I should be careful of ? If I go down the part replacement route have I missed any parts from my shopping list ? Thanks Jason |

I think you can machine down your current rotors and use certain calipers, not sure if Cooper S caliper would work. KAD 4 spots for 10" wheels are are based on vented 8.4 disks machined down with their calipers, but I'm not sure what other calipers might work Or: http://www.minispares.com/product/Class ... 013MS.aspx |

I got my kit from Karcraft, but I'm sure any mini parts suppliers can do a kit for you. I only replaced the bits I needed to. |
