Upgrade your brakes with JCW's performance slotted and drilled front rotors and the EBC Redstuff performance ceramic brake pads front & rear. This kit does not include rear rotors (JCW does not offer a matching 'slotted and drilled' rear rotor upgrade).
For 2007+ MINI Cooper and Cooper S Hatchback, 2008+ R55 MINI Cooper and Cooper S CLUBMAN, and 2009+ R57 MINI Cooper and Cooper S Convertibles. Select model from the pull-down menu.
Cooper kit includes two new Caliper Brackets to accept the larger rotors.
Cross-drilled for enhanced performance, these JCW ventilated front brakes rotors always provide immediate response with plenty of bite.
Stock rear rotors available here.

Redstuff Ceramic - 3000 Series Performance Brake Pads - For Highly Tuned Cars and Fast Street.
This material is a Kevlar® fibre based brake compound enhanced with ceramic particles. Updated from the previous generation pre-ceramic compound, this material is light years ahead. It lasts longer, it brakes better and is quieter. Being a hard wearing pad, bed-in times can be as long as 1000 miles and drivers must be patient until the pad takes up the shape of their disc (brake rotor).
This is a truly impressive fast road pad for repeated heavy braking. It emits far less dust than semi-metallic pads and has been proven to stop a passenger car/sedan/sport compact/hot hatch 13 metres quicker than OEM pads from 100mph/160kph. Features EBC Brake-In surface coating which conditions rotor surface and accelerates pad bed-in. Nominal friction coefficient 0.5 with approx. 50% dust reduction compared to other pads.
Features:
* High Initial Brake Effect
* Strong Resistance To Fade Under Load
* Reduced Rotor Wear
* Low Dusting Of Wheels
* Shimmed; Chamfered; And Slotted
* Features EBC Brake-In Coating For Fast Break In
* Zero Noise And Extended Lifetime
* Accepts factory brake wear sensor
NOTE:
Brakes are a safety critical part of your vehicle and should be installed by a competent mechanic following vehicle manufacturers installation procedure. The surface of these brake pads is coated with a red coating known as BRAKE-IN. This coating helps your newly installed brake pads to 'seat' or bed-in quickly. However, pads should be used gently for the first 100 miles until optimum braking is observed. Being a hard wearing pad, bed-in times can be as long as 1000 miles and drivers must be patient until the pad takes up the shape of their disc (brake rotor).
Follow manufacturers instructions for 'bedding in' new pads.
Not for track use.
If your Brake Wear Warning light is illuminated, you need to replace the brake wear sensor, see G2NMB2020
If you need to replace the set screw that holds the rotor in place, see NMB7603.
MINI recommends the brake fluid be replaced every 2 years. See ATE Super Blue for replacement brake fluid. ATE Super Blue is a high quality performance fluid that will last much longer than the standard DOT4 fluid. This is an ABS friendly fluid.
ATE® Super Blue has a dry boiling point of 536F and a wet boiling point of 396F which far exceeds standard brake fluids meeting the DOT 4 requirements. This fluid is NOT SILICONE and is compatible with conventional brake fluid. 100% synthetic fluid is specifically designed to resist the high temperatures of racing brakes and yet very suitable for daily driving.
