Review on K6296 Evolution Drilled Slotted Ceramic by Brandon Boones

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The tail rotors did not work on my Mini Cooper.

I ordered these for my 2008 Mini Cooper Convertible, the holes for the setscrews are drilled on the wrong side of the holes for the rear rotor lugs, preventing them from being installed. This is a manufacturing defect. I called the company to describe the problem and had to call back the next day with the part numbers stamped on the rear rotors, then they told me to email as a picture (attached here). Despite reading and verifying the email address, it bounced off so I had to call again. After submitting the photo I was told the development team needed to look at it and it would take a week. It's been a week and I haven't heard anything. When I found out about this, my car was being disassembled, so I had to buy rims from an auto parts store. The broken ones are still on the floor of my garage. If you look at the attached picture you can see the position of the set screws of the old bearing rotor compared to the new rotor. Otherwise the kit was good, front rotors matched, pads were good and new wear sensors, bushings and guide pin dust caps were included, as well as new caliper springs and a packet of caliper grease per kit. If the rear rotors fit and/or I get better service that would be a 5 star rating.

Pros
  • Brake System
Cons
  • Paint not required
