Hello everyone, first post here. Perhaps informative to others who have an F56 JCW LCI2.

Did Mini change the rear brakes for the F56 Mini LCI2? I assumed it would be the same from 2015 through 2023.

I purchased front and rear ceramic brake pads from Powerstop. Front pads installed fine, with no issues.

However, during installation, my mechanic noticed the rear pads are too small and don't seat properly. You can see from the image below that the top row is the OEM and the bottom row is aftermarket. Clearly, the shapes are different.




I did some research on Mini's parts website and the drawings for the 2023 Mini Cooper JCW rear brakes also do not look the same as the ones pictured in the above image:




However, I did notice that images of the F54 Clubman rear brake pads look similar:





Any assistance here?

 

Update:

I ordered F54 rear pads to see if they fit.

 

The F56 JCW pre-lci, lci and lci 2 all use the same rear brake pads 34216885529. ECS Tuning has photos of the pads https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...s/34216885529/

F54 and F60 will be different because if the larger rotors

 

Quick update on the rear brakes. I am not sure about previous models but the 2023 Mini JCW uses the exact same rear brakes as the F54 Clubman ALL4 S. With the help of Powerstop, we took an educated guess that based on the hardware and shape of the pads, they sent me rear aftermarket pads for the F54 Clubman. Took the car to the shop to have them installed and they fit perfectly.

 

Thanks for the update. Maybe Mini up-sized the rear rotors use the F54 units to combat the stability control system killing the rear brakes at 15k miles with "spirited" drivers.

 

Going through this now with a 2023 JCW. Same issue, received rear pads that don't fit. Spent about half an hour on the phone with Carbotech for track pads, and we were both crossing our fingers that we had it right..

Alas, t seems that its the adaptive cruise control system that carries the different pads, according to this site. And they are the same as the F54 rears.

Rockauto has parts listed for the 2023 JCW, but only for the rears on cars without the adaptive cruise control.

Will report back when I get the replacements in.

 

1752 is the backing plate number for carbotech. Not sure if this carries over to other pad manufacturers.

FWIW I'm blown away by the service of Carbotech. They had these plates brought in, pads made, and delivered to me in 5 days (with a little overnight shipping of course). I love companies that help me get my list done for track days!

 

So I just had the other end of this, my 2023 JCW 2dr with a manual seems to have the same brake pad as the regular Cooper S 2dr and not the F54 clubman. I had ordered XP-10's from Carbotech for a trackday this weekend and sure enough the CT1752's are not correct. I'm going to have to call them and see about getting a set of CT1800's

 

Active-cruise control is the defining feature

have it and you get the bigger rear set-up, seems the case on my 22 build Jcw according to my vin reader and oem real website.
