Next question are all mini brake pads the same? I have a set of ferodo pads from my 07 r56.
I am only assuming this because on way's site it says all minis
**** edit ****
07 mcs pads do not fit unless equipped with the non brembo JCW brake kit.

Just to update everyone..
I ended up doing some research and found that my 2013 jcw shares the same brake pads as a 2012 MCS.
So I ended up using akebono Euro pads, part number eur1204 $65.00.
It's been 3 days, no dust!
Initial bite its not as grabby as oem pads but has a better follow through. Oe pads felt like it bites hard at first then begins to fade. These bite and progressively begins to bite more.
I am a happy camper now...

Really?
I ordered and installed a set yesterday afternoon.
The rears I have not looked into it yet because my local supplier does not have the matching akebono pads yet.
The MCS must have the JCW TRW non brembo upgraded brakes. There are three available brake pads.
My 07 MCS w/n14 the pads were shaped differently non brembo/non JCW.

Not exactly
R56 has 3 brake options
Stock cooper S r56 pads will not fit the r60
Cooper S or jcw with TRW calipers which is an upgrade option for the r56S but stock on JCW, That fits the R60
Cooper S r56 or jcw with brembo 4piston upgrade will not fit the R60.
Only the "trw" brand calipers share the same brake pad.

I had them, they are very close to the OEM pad in performance, maybe a little less dust. Justa lower cost option for a stock replacement.

I'm going with EBC Redstuff's to get a break on the dust accumulation. I know EBC sells rotors but they are way pricey. I assume the EBCs are compatible with any rotor yes? I usually match pad and rotor by brand since I know those combos are proven.

Hello,
They take the same pad here: Front Euro1204 , rears Euro1554
https://www.ecstuning.com/Mini-2013-.../Braking/Pads/
Ones above are talking about the 4 pot vs the single pot JCW which is also similar to the TRW gen 2 Cooper S.

Had redstuff and hawk HPs, I liked them both. Great bite. If you get the more aggressive pads they will make more noise as you work up the ladder. Dust on both was far less them OEM pads.
