The Hawk Performance web page says that HPS (HB560F.677) are available for the 2007 MCS, but I can't tell if they are just for the front brakes.

TireRack.com doesn't list any brake parts for the R56 MCS. Some of the other NAM vendors only show Hawks for 1st Gen. MINIs.

Anyone know if they are available for the R56?

If they are just the fronts, is it OK to have HPS on the front and factory pads on the rear?

Do they have accomodation for the wear sensor?

 

I have both HPS and HP+ front pads for my R56. I got them from Chad and Detroit Tuned about 6 weeks ago, and I am sure he has them in stock. When I talked to Chad last week, he said that Hawk has not yet released the rear pads. So, of I go to the track this weekend with HP+ on the fronts and stock pads on the rears -- should be no problem.

Call Chad and ask for them as he doesn't have them on his web-site last time I checked.

Thanks. I wonder when they will have the rears?

 

We have front and REAR pads in all compounds for the R56. Street pads (Bobcats) are ready to order on my site. Auto X and Track pads can be ordered by phone.

 

Hawks? They are the ones I've heard the most favorable comments about. HPS seems to fit my mostly street, some autox applications.

 

Hello Robin,

I encourage you do to a little research about the Carbotech Bobcats if you like the HPS, I think you'll love the Bobcats.

 

Anyone have experience with the Bobcat 1521 on an R56?

 

I run the Carbotech pads on my R56 in fact I like them so much that I put them on all 4 corners of my wives R50. I drive my R56 daily and auto x so I have put the ax6 compound on and I have to to tell you that you need a light foot or you are going through the wind screen. On the R50 are the 1521 (bobcat) it is far less agressive. It stops really well but does not have the bit that the ax6 has till you get on the peddle then it grabs hard. So in a nut shell I would get the Carbotech pads with out a secound thought.
