it is quit interesting though... every shop near here ( there are about 4 official in belgium) orders mainly at mini sports..; it also has the biggest name here and minispares is more like the underdog... i started having my dought after one of the dealers had a mini pick up build by mini sport with 4 pot calipers and 1380 engine for him-selves... 500 miles later the front wheel and brake just came off driving on the highway... you can do anything if you set your mind to it...

Minisport are ok if you double and triple check if evrything is in stock, usually they send parcels with bits missing and they turn up weeks later. Oh and most the brake pipes they sent me were wrong lengths and a few had the wrong ends. Well... Not a great review of them but they can be ok for certain things.

Best thing i ever bought from minisport are my front brakes they was 3 months late, the wrong size and missing parts they did get the colour right though!! There also really quite good once the pads were swapped for some other brand :)

between the two, minispares. however, I had some good bumpers from minisport last year - original rover spec, stainless, they are still a1 after a year of use, all year round. which surprised me really! |

Maybe i need to swap the pads. Underpowered thats the word. Same with mini yet wen braking soft they dound like a peble sits in between the pad and disq.. strange noise. you can do anything if you set your mind to it...

i've used both minisport and minispares. had a few issues with parts from minisport but the guys were very helpful with sorting things out. only bought a few odds and ends from minispares but no issues at all. What the mind can conceive the mini can achieve

I have had loads of problems with minispares sending out the wrong bits some of the orders I placed last year I was lucky if 60% of the stuff was right and I received some right junk from them! But to be fair I have used mini sport a fair amount and can't fault them! |

Never used mini sport because of all the bad press on here. I use Minispares all the time and they are awesome all round. My build thread: http://www.turbominis.co.uk/forums/index.php?p=vt&tid=440970 |

Minisport = bad news ! Talk to my brother in law yesterday. It appears he has the same problem with his brakes. He orderd a full set that was in stock and only got the disqs... he did get a mail that the rest will be send after... hope he does not have to oay a second posting now. you can do anything if you set your mind to it...
