EBC 07-15 Mini Cooper S Hardtop (R56) 1.6L Turbo Bluestuff Rear Brake Pads

If you're looking to get more out of your 2007-2015 Mini Cooper S Hardtop's braking system, especially if you plan on hitting the track or doing spirited driving, these EBC Bluestuff rear brake pads are a solid option. They're designed to handle the increased heat generated during more demanding use compared to standard street pads.

These pads use a compound that offers a strong initial bite and consistent performance even when they get hot, which is crucial for maintaining control during track days or aggressive cornering. The FMSI pad number is D1309, and they're built with a solid construction that includes the necessary bolt holes for installation. They measure 259/280mm in diameter, 44mm in height, 10mm thick, and have a 64.1mm center hole diameter, ensuring a direct fit on the specified Mini Cooper models.

While these pads are built for performance, keep in mind that compounds designed for track use can sometimes be a bit noisier or produce more dust than standard street pads. It's always a good idea to check the manufacturer's installation instructions to ensure proper bedding-in for optimal performance and longevity.
