EBC 02-03 Mini Hardtop 1.6 Redstuff Rear Brake Pads

EBC is known for making performance brake components, and their Redstuff pads are a popular choice for drivers looking for a cleaner wheel and better braking. If you've got a 2002 or 2003 Mini Cooper, these rear Redstuff pads are designed to give you a noticeable improvement over stock.

These pads use a synthetic fiber compound mixed with ceramic particles, which means they produce significantly less dust than traditional semi-metallic pads – up to 90% less, in fact. What little dust they do create is easy to wipe away and doesn't contain steel fibers that can embed into your wheels. They also perform well right from a cold start, and their stopping power actually gets better as they warm up, making them a solid option for spirited driving. The material is designed for longevity and repeated heavy braking, and they've been shown to stop cars quicker than OEM pads from higher speeds. EBC includes a special surface coating that helps condition your rotors and speeds up the bed-in process, which can take up to 1000 miles for these harder-wearing pads to fully seat to your rotors.

Because these are a harder-wearing pad, it's important to be patient during the bed-in period to ensure they mate properly with your brake rotors for optimal performance.
