as i understand, they are much the same. Thats what I'm going to go for i think.Are the standard R56 brakes not R53 JCW

On a separate note, I'm interested to know more about your 'tweaked' mini one. Having previously owned two R50's myself I'm keen to see what you have done. Do you have a link?
Nah....no link
Its all just mild stuff too be honest apart from the re-map
K & N Induction kit, top strut brace, Eibach springs, drilled grooved discs, mintex pads, playmini exhaust and MTH's "Big One" remap(137 bhp)
I was gonna do the R56 to R50 brake swap as well but I missed out on Elfmans R56 setup he was selling a while back as they were a steal
I've just fitted new tyres tho which are Federal 595 RS-R's. I thought seeing as the missus hardly does any miles at all I'd try something a wee bit softer....

Just keep an eye on the Federal's, in case you don't know they develop very deep gashes across the tread, 4 I think, probably from the mold. Federal say it's fine but they can get very deep.

I'll keep an eye out for that Dobboy
I took 10 year old (
Big Craigs just got a set of these as well for the Panda mobile so we'll need to monitor them.

i think i have decided on a set of jcw callipers, the ones that are the same as the R56s.
the next question i have is about discs and pads. Which ones?
for disks i think most would recommend m-tek in any of the formats (i have c hooks just to be diffrent) as for pads its down to what you want to use your car for fast road ebc yellowstuff (avoid red and green they are worse than oem )are brilliant but they are not so good for track ,other options are mintex 1144 or carbotech xp8
TAPS AFF FITT DOON
Lol....yeah it does
Really shows above 4K
Don't think the gearbox would take much more as that seems to be the weakest link.
