Was searching the internet and came accross this

I have been using their mini 4 BBK system for the past 2 years without any issue on my RB1 and they have started a distribution channel in Austalia except WA (as usual). So for those that want to upgrade their brakes, it might be an idea to see their pricing.

I am in no way affiliated with these ppl, just a satisfied user of their product.

I don't mind upgrading to BBK but with the design of my Work D3S we can't see the BBK so i'm not sure if it's worth it to upgrade to BBK. Also my D3S is low disk so need to find out if the rims can clear the caliper. Damien, can you still use the standard 16" rims after installing the mini BBK?

I think minimum rim size is 17 for the mini 4 due to the 330mm rotor that comes with it. For the full 4 and full 6 is 18. The rim design also affects.

Looking at your current rim design, it is highly unlikely to clear the calipers. I had problems choosing rims because some of the designs, especially deep dish designs, would not clear. Had to bring the caliper and rotor to the shop to test with rims.

The upgrade is not just abt looks, there is a big diff in stopping power especially when fully loaded even on the mini 4. It is one of the best upgrades that even the wife fully agrees with.
