You will see an improvement in brake 'fade' but not major in overall performance . We have done several of the conversions as fitted to Sinead's Cabriolet and Ferg's S . We use 294mm JCW groved and drilled discs and R56 cooper S Calipers and brackets , this will give you a very good set-up and will stop the S .after that you are into AP Racing or Brembo etc etc .
