If ya can do it for next to nothing, and do it well, then go for it. But it's purely "wank factor", IMO.

Waste of time. Can't even run bigger than 5/8" rear wheel cylinders with discs usually, or they lock the backs up. There's no weight there under brakes. I repeat- a waste of time and $$$. :lol:

Pure WANK factor... :roll:

Like fluoros under cars, clear rear lenses, and all the other ricer crap....

Look at the rear drums on a Hyundai Excel or Accent- they look smaller than Mini ones!

And half the Jap cars with rear discs don't need them... 8)

If you want the lower unsprung weight and better endurance you could try Motor Bike brakes as they have a lower weight and better fade capabilities.

I've been mulling them over after looking at the loading capabilities of a panelvan.

Good Luck

What exactly does RICER stand for?

I got a few things in my mini that people would consider Rice, but what the hell does it mean?

Anyone help me with this love to hear it.
