they'll just help you lock up your wheels earlier... mini's are overbraked in the rear anyway... |

superfins are good, but you dont really need them. its one of those things, if budget is no issue then yeah get them, but it would be last on my list. i wonder if those vented rotors can be used with standard calipers or if they have to be fitted with 4 pots. |

That means 4 pots I think.

All the more reason to put 4 pot vented front discs on! And the minifins (although I don't think they are necessary, they are very expensive) would reduce brake fade. But seriously, rear brakes should NOT lock up easily. If you run disc brakes you should be running the Cooper S rear cylinders, which happen to be the same as the original 850 rear cylinders I think, but many cars have the later bigger rear cylinders now. |
