Brake and hub swap, quick reply needed

So I have a 4 bolt 2 door 2007 lt and I have the ability to get the brake setup off of a 2006 2 door ss and was wondering if it's all compatible if I take all the right parts. A hasty response is appreciated and I warn you I am very new at modding cars and jumping in head first but that's the only way I know how!

The front brakes will be a direct swap, you'll just need to find 4x100 drilled rotors of the correct diameter, or pull the hub (say it in the title but not in your post).

For the rear system you need the entire twisting beam axle and parking brake cables

I believe mini cooper rotors work for the front. They are 4 lug and correct dimensions.

Yup. You'll want rotors from a 2006-2013 Mini Cooper. I grabbed a set from Rockauto. The LSJ calipers will bolt right up to your existing front caliper brackets. Make sure you have wheels to fit the new set up, the stock steelies come very close to not clearing.

Thanks guys bit I believe I want to switch the leg configuration because otherwise I would have 2 different lug patterns front and back no? Really just want to know if the braking and hub(or w/e it's called that determines your bolt pattern)from an 06 will hookup directly to my 07. Sorry for the lack of clarity.
