ok you mini guru's

just wondering what is best to have.

what you would recomend. or will work fine.

12inch wheels with rover 8.4 discs. with a 1275 & booster
or cooper s disc breaks with a booster on 10's

both with stepped drums on the back.

would the cooper s be fine for stopping a rover engine?

do cooper S brakes have just as good breaking power for an every day drive on a mini.

just looking for whats safe really.

thanks guys.

Cooper S brakes on 10" wheels stop just as well as 8.4s on 12" wheels, boosted or not. We run 2 sets, and another soon. 8)
Whichever setup you choose, run decent pads. I find the improved EBC DP102s (blackstuff) best for road use, they bite great even cold.
EBC Greenstuffs are fine for sporty use but need warming up to bite well.
