I'm thinking about towing a small trailer behind my mini and was curious if anyone has any experience doing anything similar. Total weight of the trailer and load would be about 800 pounds.

Any reason to get higher performance brake pads and rotors?

 

Naww....with only 800 pounds....no issues. Heck....you should be driving more slowly and relaxed with a trailer....do make sure the fluid is fresh....

 

I might consider brake cooling ducts if anything. These work for the earlier cars.
