as far as upgrading the brakes on a mini kudos to you i would have done the same thing those little cars are light yes, but they are absolutely ridiculous on the track a bone stock cooper s would run times similiar to my 360hp e36 with pss9 suspension, they are really nice little cars (they are made by bmw ya know..lol) on an xj i can see upgrading to a larger rotor and maybe a dual piston caliper and a quality pad but to use a slotted or drilled offroad just seems that your asking for problems. and unless your going to track your xj or use it as your tow rig i cant even see doing that much unless your going up to 35's or bigger and still driving it on the street. at that point you have increased the rotating mass drastically and a brake upgrade is needed. my jeep on 32's will not have a brake upgrade other than pads and maybe a brake booster upgrade (my bronco was swapped over to a f250 system that was night and day difference on descents)
