I have a 2023 MCS. I used up all the pads and rotors on a single track day. Hubs and I did some research and found some replacements online. The rear set of rotors and pads fit just fine. I go to start on the front and though the website says these are for all F56 S, it turns out the rotors/pads are too small.
Does anyone know/can anyone recommend what I should order that would actually fit? We took measurements and the rotors I need seem to be the same size as the F54/F60.
Here's some pics to show the size difference of my stock rotors/pads vs what I received.
New pad's yellow. Old pad's black. The only real noticable difference being height.
Old rotor on top. New rotor on bottom.
New pad (yellow) on new rotor with old pad (black). Difference is much more obvious here.
Any help and/or insight would be very much appreciated!
I believe you just emailed us? I replied with the updates in the catalog as we just found out MINI changed things again for the 2023 F56 Cooper S (they like to do this all the time and dont update the ETK or partslink). I dont know why they changed them on the rotors, usually they stick with a rotor size until the next platform ie G56 https://www.motoringfile.com/2021/03...appear-online/
They updated to the F54/F60 on the front size.

That was actually me! I figured that maybe someone here would know what fit since they have already done it - then I found this thread. Thanks for getting back to me quickly even with the holiday.
I took some measurements, and the fronts do seem to come from the bigger cars as the rotors are 307x24 mm. However, the rear sizes you mentioned in your email are not gonna fit. Here is the link I was given, but they are for 280x10 mm rotors, and what came off my car are 259x10. I think the ones you suggested for the rears are for the '23 F56 JCW. I have seen another post during the research that suggests they had to work with Powerstop to get the right pads.
