Product details
This MINI front race kit combines Type III anodized Dynapro Dust Seal calipers with 11.75-inch GT-slotted rotors. Its four-lug hats and radial brackets are intended for the specific Cooper and Cooper S applications documented below. The manufacturer is Wilwood Engineering, founded by Bill Wood in 1977 and based in Camarillo, California. It designs and manufactures disc brake components and complete systems, from calipers and brake rotors to valves, master cylinders, fittings and brake lines. Motorsport, street-performance and specialized installations each require those components to be matched to the complete brake system.
