Hi All, first post and a subject that has been bothering me for a while.

I run in the MINI Challenge race series in the UK - S class, so that is an R53 S with JCW upgrades and race bits giving 215 bhp running on slicks and wets, see www.minichallenge for specs if you want to.

Anyway, I am used to a much harder brake pedal in other cars I have raced and want to know if anyone out there has done anything, remembering I have to stay inside the MINI Challenge rules, to get a rock solid pedal?

Anyone?

Thanks

To be honest, sounds like a change of brake pads. I had R53 S stock. and had loose brake pedal. Changed the pads and brake fluid and it was much tighter and harder. Almost to hard.

Hope it helps.

Hi - I am limited to what I can use - Hard race Mintex pads with JCW + discs - still a little spongy for my liking

Has anyone tried running a car with no servo assistance?

Not a MINI, I've had a few cars in the past without servo assistance on the brakes the last being a Fiat X19 Grand Finale, the brake pedal needed plenty of shove to make anything happen!
