Default 1st gen xb/xa jbt 6-piston mini bbk! $650!!!

i have a 6 piston jbt mini bbk for sale. 15" wheels will clear the kit!
the kit includes 2 front calipers, 6 piston units that are much lighter then the OEM calipers
stainless steel brake lines for the front, that have a nice high quality coating on them to prevent rubbing/wear.
and pads/rotors. now for $800 i will include the pads and rotors that are with the kit, I will let you know now that the pads and rotors are well worn and I would replace them before installation.
I'm also including a brand new never installed set of 10mm wheel spacers with extended wheel studs. this will enable you to run the brake kit using your stock OEM wheels without clearance issues.
for $950 i order and include a set of rotora replacement pads for the kit and a set of rotors, there is a large number of rotors available for the kit as the rotor size is compadiable with mini coopers.

I purchased it used and put about 25k miles on it in the time that i had it installed. In that time I embarassed more then a few cars with 3 times the horsepower at local autocrosses. I uninstalled the kit last week as I'm slowly going back to stock (I have Perrin goodies for sale as well, including their hard to find fuel rail if anyone is interested). So the kit is ready to ship now, I can take more pics of it uninstalled as well.

Install on the kit is straightforward as it using the existing caliper mounts, only trimming or removal of the rotor's dust shield is needed to accomadate the larger rotors.

In the photos below I'm running a 16" wheel but 15" wheels will clear the kit.

so again for $800 you get the complete kit
calipers
lines
used pads and rotors
spacers and extended lug nuts

or for $950 you get
same as above with new rotora pads
new, not resurfaced, rotors

email me dzajano(at)yahoo(dot)com if you have any questions or would like more pics of the kit, I'm also currently located in leesburg,va commute into dc and know md well if anyone in the region is interested.

Default a link to a review on the set i did after install

https://www.scionlife.com/forums/sho...ght=panasports

10/09

"first i have to say the fit of the kit is very impressive. the install was completely straight forward with perfect fitment. no additional brackets. and everything fit without any issue perfectly. the OEM dust sheilds do either need to be cut out or removed, but then it's smooth sailing. the rotors fit perfect, the lines are the correct length and the pads load into the calipers easily. and you don't need massive 45lb 18" wheels to clear the kit. what you end up with is an install that is honestly as easy as doing pads, rotors and a brake line install. i switched my fluid to ATE superblue when bleeding the brakes. and as a bonus the calipers are much lighter then stock, i'd guess they were about 4-6lb lighter, which being un-sprung weight, particularly in the front, makes a nice difference.

brake performance: immediately after install i took the car to the local park and ride lot to seat the pads. it's a big empty lot so taking it up to speed then coming to a complete stop from 10-15-20-30-40- and then 50mph was not an issue. even with the freshly flushed and bleed brake lines things felt a bit squishy. i was worried that there may have been a slow leak in a brake line, little response until you got about 80% into the pedal and then it was like throwing an anchor out the window. but we were in the mist of storm that dropped over 4" of rain in the immediate area. i brought it back in and checked the lines, no leak. just a paranoid concern.

the next day the car saw about 300 miles, 250 of which was highway and the brakes kept feeling better and better as the day when on, the pads were seating and finding their bite. pedal feel had firmed up and the feel was consistant through the pedal range until to stuffed it to the floor. at that point it's check your rear view mirror to make sure nothing is going to shorten your wheelbase for you.

the day after that i had an autocross. i was confident in the brakes performance and pedal feel after the drive. the feel and response on course was great and with 8 long runs (50+ sec) and speeds getting over 60mph multiple times on each run there was NEVER any sign or feel of brake fade. with the pedal feel it was easy to control how much force was needed, whether to slow a few mph off entering a sweeper or open box turn, or to haul down from 60 into a tight hairpin or closing radius box turn. the setup had excelled at autocross, that combined with the perfect fitment and ease of install impressed me. i hadn't read any review on the kits before purchase from anyone that actually drives their car hard, so i was a little bit skeptical, thinking it might be more of a show kit then a go kit. but it performed very well. would i install the kit just for auto-x and take the bump in class from it by itself? not if i were trying to ever win my class i wouldn't. could the same results be recieved from upgraded pads, lines, rotors and fluid? possibly, i was coming from a bone stock setup. i'm a big fan of federo 2500 pads and they are available in fitment for the kit, so i jumped on it.

+'s
fitment, ease of install
additional brake pad manufacturers
pedal feel
no fade
unsprung weight
allows for 15" wheels (can shave even more unsprung weight)
wow factor

-'s
performance could possibly we recreated by upgraded pads/lines/rotors, i'm personally not sure as i haven't compared the 2.
overkill (not that it's ever a bad thing when it comes to braking performance)

"


i can tell you that feredo 2500 pads are not available for this application, rotora is probably the best bet for pads
