brake pad??
Hi Guys,
I m about the time to replace my brake pads....(the service light is on:razz:) Just want some comments about which brand's brake pads is good?? I see there are two brands which is pretty common for mini ... HAWK or EBC "Green Stuff"? Should i change to stainless steel brake lines ,too? Thanks for the advise!! |
Give us a heads up of the type of driving you do. Does the MINI see track days, just a commuter, or spirited driving? I personally do change my hoses to stainless as they do improve pedal feel and response.

i've got the hawk hps pads and like them. got them from raceshopper.com for
a really good price. |
oo..sorry !!...i m driving 05 cooper S ....well....sometime spirited driving..
I was comparing the price of few site(minimania, outmotoring, & mossmini) Seems like mossmini got a better deal!! |
went to carbotech bobcat ceramic on my 05 MCS about 6 months ago, great
stopping power and nearly NO brake dust, stainless lines are a nice upgrade and brass end pieces make a firmer pedal. boxcars |
Put Hawk Performance Ceramic (http://www.outmotoring.com/mini-coop...mic_brake_pads) on my Mini and brake dust is all but eliminated and they stop great.
|
+1 on Hawk ceramic
Good stopping and very low dust. |
Do you guys change the brake pads (front & rear) at the same time...or just the front ?

is it some kind of OEM, or is it aftermarket? |
I've had great luck with the Hawk HPS on my previous vehicle -- so totally worth it just for the reduction in brake dust :thumbsup:. I'm hating it right now with all the dust. Previous owners just had the front pads changed (OEM) less than a year ago so I have a ways to go before I can replace.
