My first Mini !!!

Hi everyone!

I'm Nataly. I've just sold my Golf GTI and bought MINI R56 Cooper S 1.6i Turbo John Cooper Works . It's my first Mini and I have a lot of questions.
I'm going to use this car at track-days preferentially and that's why I'm interested in tuning.
I'm going to start modifications right now, first of all I'm going to change brakes. Now I choose brake pads. What is the best for JCW?

Hello,

You could go with EBC or hawk, most people go with Hawk HPS or HP+ . For ECS they use Reds. Usless this is a full on track car then go to the yellow.

Whats year do you have ?

Are you looking for an intake / exhuast system set up , or just a tune ?

Thanks

Hello,
I've already found some information and I think EBC yellowstuff will be the best choice. My car is from 2013 and I think my brake pads should be changed soon. Also I'm going to make chip tuning and install downpipe.
