Hello. Can anyone help me identify the brakes on my R56 MCS so I can buy the right pads and rotors for it? I inherited these from the previous owner.

 

Last 2 pics look like the stock rear brake calipers. Not sure what the brembo branded caliper is though

 

I agree with the above post the last 2 look like stock rears, but you should measure the diameter of the disc to see if it is a JCW disc or a regular mini cooper s disc. Pads should be the same regardless on the rears.

The front looks like the brembo gt 4 pots

So you have a 328x28 rotor and for pads I THINK they are the same pads used as the JCW 4 pot brakes, but dont quote me on that because it could be wrong. I also found replacement pads for you on ECS but couldnt find specs for them to match to JCW 4 pot pads

Let us know how it goes

 

Thanks gents. I'm also quite sure the rear are stock and its good to know what the fronts are now. I'll try the suggested parts though pads seem a tad expensive.

The JCW pads here but not sure if they'll fit: https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...w/34116789157/

 

Yep those are the pads if you have the JCW factory four piston front brakes. Made my brembo. I Have those.

 

I actually have the Brembo GT brakes though, as someone else has mentioned above. What would be a more affordable option for pads and rotors for the Brembo GTs?

 

If you know the size try Mintex pads and Brembo OE brake disc for day to day road use as they're not that expensive compared to other brands.
