Mini Cooper Big Brake Kit (BBK) from Wilwood

Wilwood offers a variety of Big Brake kits for different applications and goals.  With a lower cost than other big brand brake kits, Wilwood solutions provide greatly improved braking performance in a smaller package.

Read below for more details.

DynaPro four piston radial mount calipers combine pure race technology with a new generation of Wilwood performance enhancements. The DynaPro combines the versatility of radial mounting with a sleek profile, superior strength, and extreme durability in adverse conditions. With an overall weight as light as 3.58 pounds, the DynaPro has become a favored choice for a broad range of sports, rally, and off-road driving applications.

The strength of the DynaPro is a combination of process and design. The process of stess-flow forging re-aligns the internal grain structure of the metal to flow within the contour of the caliper body. This produces a part with superior strength over machined block billet parts or castings. The FEA generated body design features a radial transition between the piston bores and caliper bridges. This eliminates macined steps and shoulders in this critical strength area and substantially increases the resistance against deflection and body separation under high load. Structural deflection and volume displacement testing have proven the efficiency of this innovative design. The bottom line is a firm pedal with outstanding stopping power.  

The DynaPro is available in four configurations. Standard calipers for rotors up to 12.19” feature dust-booted aluminum pistons for maximum protection against track or road born debris in low to intermediate temperature applications. A long radius version is available to accommodate rotors up to 13.00”. Competition models use heavy wall stainless pistons to provide addition protection against corrosion and heat transfer from the pads. All DyanPro calipers can also be optioned with Thermlock pistons for maximum thermal protection in sustained high-heat applications. Optional side inlet calipers are available to simplify plumbing with inboard mounted brakes on live axles and independent suspension rears.   

DynaPro calipers use type 7816 pads that are supported from the top by Quick-Clip pad retainers. Quick-Clips allow fast access to the pads for service without the need to dismount the caliper. The Quick-Clip design also allows additional inside radial clearance between the caliper body and the lug hub by eliminating the bottom pad support feet found on other caliper models. Side inlet DynaPros use additionally fortified bridge bolts in place of the Quick-Clips for the ultimate in secure pad retention within high load environments on sprint cars and other extreme duty applications.   

The DynaPro incorporates other exclusive Wilwood performance enhancements. Stainless SRS bridge plates eliminate caliper bridge wear from pad gouging while dampening noise and vibration during engagement. Internal fluid passages eliminate the need for external crossover tubes and four corner bleed screws allow effective gas evacuation regardless of mounting location.  


SRP Drilled Performance Rotors feature a specially engineered directional cross drill and face slot pattern that improve brake response and pad performance throughout the entire range of light to heavy braking. The venting and cleaning action of the holes and slots will reduce pad glaze and disperse gasses and heat generated during the pad to rotor interface. The holes and slots also inhibit irregular pad compound build-up on the rotor faces resulting in smoother engagement and improved pedal response in all conditions. The material removed also contributes to lower rotating and unsprung suspension weight.

Along with the excellent performance characteristics of this rotor design, each rotor is treated with a black electro coat to inhibit corrosion on all areas of the rotor. The high tech design, classic style, and aesthetic appeal of the SRP series are the perfect finishing touches to any wheel and tire detail.  

SRP rotors are available in all popular sizes used in Wilwood's Pro Series and Big Brake conversion kits. Kits in these categories designated with the drilled rotor option get the SRP as standard equipment.  


GT Series Big Brake Short Offset hats are precision machined from premium aluminum alloys for high strength and attention to minimized weight. Hats in this category feature threaded rotor mount holes for use with standard through-hole mount rotors. Threaded hole hats may also be used with T-Nuts or bobbins designed for use with specially machined slotted hole dynamic mount rotors. When used in conjunction with matched Wilwood rotor hardware kits, GT hats provide solid, reliable performance in the most demanding conditions. Short Offset Hats are for narrow space applications with offsets often less than 1.00". They are available for most rotor bolt patterns in a variety of four and five lug wheel patterns.

Shallow Offset Hats are for narrow space applications with offsets often less than 1.00". They are available for most rotor bolt patterns in a variety of four and five lug wheel patterns.
