Well, I did a search both on here and MINI2 and didn't find an answer. What are the brake pad options for the 2009 Factory JCW? I know there are the OEM replacements and the Carbotechs that AUTOXCOOPER has, are there any other choices? Does Hawk make an HPS or HP Plus that fits?

 

Well, I guess that about answers it. I emailed Hawk as well and they don't currently have a pad for the Factory JCW BBK but they're willing to start making them if someone can provide part numbers for them to model on, etc. Might have to do that when my car gets here. I quite like the idea of HPS or HP+ pads on my JCW...*drool*

 

I purchased some Carbotech's for my fronts as I hate brake dust. Install was very easy, Carbotech product is good, notice no difference from stock, only noticed some squeeling at low braking speeds. Best thing is that brake dust is reduced considerably. Other than that, I think I will get some for the rear's too.

Ferodo DS2500s would be nice if they offered them. I had those in my Evo IX and they where good both on and off track.

 

which carbotechs did you get? I have the ax6 on my MINI now and thinking of bobcats as they aren't supposed to squeal/dust as much. The AX6 has great stopping power though.
