Hello Mini enthusiasts! Looking to enhance your Classic Mini's daily drivability without sacrificing its charm? Let's talk braking, a crucial upgrade for modern city life.

Original Mini drum brakes, while iconic, often feel inadequate today. The most impactful improvement is a front disc brake conversion. For those retaining 10" wheels, a 7.5" disc kit is ideal. These kits, like those from Mini Sport or Minispares, offer significantly better stopping power, modulation, and heat dissipation than drums. They were even factory fitted to Cooper S models, maintaining a period-correct feel. If you're open to 12" wheels, 8.4" disc kits provide even greater performance.     Official Site

Beyond conversion, selecting the right brake pads is key. For daily city driving, look for "street performance" pads. EBC Greenstuff are popular, offering good cold bite, low dust, and minimal noise. Mintex M1144 provides a stronger bite for spirited driving. Avoid race pads, as they need heat to perform and are noisy/dusty.

Finally, consider braided stainless steel brake lines. They offer a firmer, more responsive pedal feel by preventing line expansion.

A 7.5" disc conversion with quality street pads and braided lines is the perfect balance, ensuring your Classic Mini stops as confidently as it goes, enhancing safety and enjoyment without altering its beloved character.
For enhancing your Classic Mini's braking performance, a front disc brake conversion is paramount. Ditching the original drums for a 7.5-inch disc kit (like those found on Cooper S models) offers significantly improved stopping power and fade resistance, perfect for city traffic. Crucially, these kits generally fit under the beloved 10-inch wheels, maintaining your Mini's iconic look.

Complementing this, upgraded brake pads make a tangible difference. For daily driving, EBC Greenstuff pads are a fantastic choice, providing better bite, low dust, and quiet operation without needing excessive heat. For those who enjoy more spirited driving, Mintex M1144 pads offer even stronger performance, albeit with slightly more dust and noise. Don't forget braided brake lines; they stiffen pedal feel, ensuring consistent, confident braking. These upgrades dramatically improve safety and drivability, letting you enjoy your Mini in modern conditions without compromising its classic charm.
