Ok, theres the problem, you are looking at 06, im looking at 14. They obviously grew over the years.

And you know how I roll.

Looks like the 06 was its own rotor, as in, it only fits an 06. Lets try to stick with something that might not be really hard to find later.

like the 07-13 S rotor



Seriously, I have to go work now.

Pre 2006 is an R53 mini cooper, 2007 and up is what we want, r56 and higher.

That 2006 JCW rotor is a teeny tiny little bit thinner though, maybe that's what we want? edit: nevermind!

Again, just for clarity, Bundy is using a radial mount Dynapro from a modified Mini Cooper big brake kit, with 2 piece Wilwood rotors.

The brackets I got from relete are for the Dynalite using an OEM Mini rotor (PNs and dims above.)

So similar projects, but not the same.

<p>So were basically reinventing @relte's wheel. I'm going to PM him and see if he still has the 11.5inch rotor bracket hanging around.</p>

I never made it to the 11.5" bracket since all I could fit under NB 15" wheels were the 11" rotors. I thought about trying the 11.5" under my new Konig Dail-ins, but I would need a thick wheel spacer to clear that big of a rotor. My main design goal was to fit the biggest rotor I could under factory wheels for cheap. If you can fit the 11.5" rotor you can probably fit the big boy 11.75 rotors from the big brake kits. Also the 11.5 rotor gets pretty heavy, especially compared to willwood rotors. I can dig up the data if you need it.

<p>I thought you got the 11.5 to almost fit under stock nb.</p><p>We should check the wilwood rotor offset.</p><p>I know that even 15x9's need a spacer to clear the stock wilwood hat.</p>

<p>Also the main purpose of this is price.</p><p>11.75 rotor is not even remotely close to cheap.</p><p>The way I see it is:</p><p>Bracket: Freeish</p><p>Rotor: 44</p><p>Calipers: 300 max</p><p>Lines: ~40</p><p>So 400&nbsp;instead of 729?</p><p>V8R has their own custom hat.</p>
