This is the brake upgrade kit for MINI Cooper owner who wants to replace worn pads and rotors while also taking a step up the performance chain. With this kit we include front and rear SP Performance Slotted AND cross drilled rotors as well as a full set of SP Performance Street Plus Pads (see note below about gen2 MINI) which are designed to work great together. The cross drilled holes are actually different than most competitors as they have a rounded or rolled edge to reduce the stress as is typical of straight chamfer which can crack over time. When your MINI Cooper needs new brake pads and rotors this is the best value on the market.

Recommended for street performance applications. Because of the SP inverted radius chamfer and curved slotting these rotors will allow for greater cooling than stock rotors and additional 'bite'.

Includes:
2- front Slotted and Cross Drilled SP Performance Rotors
2- rear Slotted and Cross Drilled SP Performance Rotors
1- complete front set of SP Performance Street Plus Pads (for Gen2 MINI we ship the Powerstop Z16 Ceramic pads)

A few highlights about SP Performance rotors for the MINI Cooper:
- All SP Performance® Rotors are 'direct-fit' bolt-on units. No modification to the OEM braking system is required.
- All base rotors are high-carbon, long-grain cast-iron units produced in either North America or Italy. They are the highest quality components available.
- Application specific CAD/CAM programming ensures proper machining for best looks, fit, and rotor integrity.
- Every rotor double-checked for runout at the factory to guarantee first-time, no-hassle installation.
- Widest variety of Applications, Designs and Styles of any major Performance Rotor Manufacturer.
- Limited LIFETIME Warranty* against cracking

Most aftermarket REAR pads do NOT have a location for the rear sensor including Hawk, Mintex, sp Performance, ATE and many others. Because the rear sensor was not added until 2004 after most companies had made their molds they simply did not update them and have yet to do so. Because the front pads nearly always wear out first, this tends to not be a problem because the front sensor will trip first. Occasional inspection of the rear pads will help reduce the risk of running them into the metal. If you have a 2004 or newer MINI please tie back the existing sensor with a zip tie when re assembling your brakes.
