JCW Need Advice - JCW Brake Pad & Rotor Replacement
JCW GarageInterested in John Cooper Works (JCW) parts for your 2nd Generation MINI? This is where JCW upgrades and accessories for the MINI Clubman (R55), Cooper and Cooper S (R56), and Cabrio (R57) MINIs are discussed.
I have a 2009 JCW that needs the front brake pads and rotors replaced. I am on a budget, but don't want to install crappy products either. Does anyone have recommendations on products and/or places in the Seattle area?
I've been doing extensive research lately on rotors,, as my JCW needs all new ones. I did see a few slotted ones but can't remember where I spotted them. Did you try checking to see whether EBC makes any? I think I searched on ECS Tuning for some. Maybe Mini Mania, WMW...ugh. I'll see if I can find the link again.
I settled for the EBC Redstuff pads and their dimpled and slotted rotors.
I also redid my brakes back at the end of winter. Factory rotors and EBC Red Stuff pads. The pads are working very well!! Minimal dust, quiet and no pull after they were broken in.
Does anyone make slotted rotors for the jcw? (slotted only, not drilled and slotted)
I just received front and rear slotted ones from NM Engineering and will be installing them this Thursday along with the ECS Exact-Fit SS braided brake lines, Motul RBF600 brake fluid, and Hawk HPS pads.
