The Helix Stage 1 Brake Kit will greatly improve feel, performance and cooling of your MINI Cooper and Cooper S brake system. This kit includes ATE slotted front rotors, EBC Green Stuff front brake pads, DOT approved Helix Stainless Steel braided brake lines, and ATE Super Blue Racing (or equivelant) Brake Fluid. In track and other repetitive hard-use conditions, the MINI's stock brake system has shown the propensity to boil brake fluid. The stage one brake kit is guaranteed to increase brake heat dissipation, and improve hard-use brake performance. Please note, this kit includes brake lines for all four wheels but only FRONT rotors and pads.

Professional installation recommended.

The ultimate braking package for the MINI. This top quality alloy brake kit employs the pinnacle of brake engineering technology. The 328mm modular brake rotors are vented, gas slotted and treated for the most extreme performance driving. The oversized alloy calipers are specifically engineered and tested for the MINI and features the best possible heat dissipation. THE FOUR PISTON CALIPERS DO NOT SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE PISTON VOLUME OVER THE STOCK CALIPERS. This is very important. Many systems suffer PISTON ENVY (a Freudian condition) and put 6, 8, even 10 brake pistons in their calipers. This does not improve brake performance. By having a significantly greater brake piston volume, It changes the brake bias toward the front of the car. When the driver gets on the brakes, the nose of the car dives dramatically, the ABS deploys (because there is no weight or grip on the rear wheels), and the driver thinks that the car is stopping quicker. This is false. The best brake performance comes from a balanced system that best controls heat dissipation. Stoptech engineers have created the best, most balanced system for the MINI. Calipers are black anodized or optional red powder coated. Professional installation recommended.

The Helix Stainless Steel Brake Lines are a direct replacement and help improve pedal feel. They also help reduce the expansion that occurs from the stock rubber brake lines leading to reduced time between applied pedal pressure and deceleration.

Professional installation recommended.

*On late 2006 models you may need to clearance the bracket to make it fit perfectly.

ATE Super Blue Racing brake fluid has a dry boiling point of over 530 degrees F, far exceeding DOT 4 standards. Mixes with any other DOT 3 or DOT 4 fluid. Super Blue absorbs moisture very slowly, so you don't have to change it as often as many high-performance fluids. Great for your street car that sees weekend track duty.

ATE TYP200 carries the exact same properties as the ATE Super Blue, but it is an amber colored fluid.

Metal cans, one liter each.

Brembo, the world's leading brake technology company now has a brake rotor that fits the OEM brake system. These rotors feature:

-Electronic balancing system which eliminates any possible difference in the weight split of vented discs, avoiding vibration risks.

-Perfectly uniform thickness of the braking surfaces to ensure top performance, maximum comfort and much higher durability of the components.

-Precise finish of the braking surface, ground or fine turned depending on OE specifications, to ensure improved pad-discs fit and better running-in.

-Extremely precise tolerance to guarantee correct run-out values and the elimination of several types of disc vibrations.

Price is per rotor.

Our track tests reviled the need to upgrade the stock brake fluid for the more demanding use of brakes. Castrol SRF is the highest quality fluid you can use in your car. SRF has a Dry boiling point of 590F and a wet boiling point of 518F.

*Now available for the 2002-2006 Minis with JCW brakes/2007 Cooper/Cooper S hardtops

EBC brake pads are the only pads made with KEVLAR(r) fibers. The EBC brake compound uses no carbon, so there is minimal dust. The friction coefficient of the EBC compound is 30-40% higher than common pads, yet rotor wear is minimal. Suitable for use on the street or light track use -- stable braking characteristics up to 550 degrees C. Sold as a set, left and right.

The EBC Red Stuff is a heavy duty semi-metallic brake pad with a slightly lower friction than the Green Stuff but with a significantly longer life and a higher temperature rating. This pad is excellent for autocross and track days.

EBC's new Red Stuff Ceramic pad is an "ECE R90 approved pad, legal for street use yet capable of stopping you from regular 100mph plus runs without fade. The pads just keep getting better the more abuse you give them."

This new generation of friction material is very low in compressibility ensuring a firm pedal, whilst still providing great life for both disc and pad. Combined with low wheel dusting and good noise characteristics this product is the brake pad for the driver who demands the ultimate in track day braking performance.

Consistent coefficient of friction (0,50) at all temperatures

Low noise / low dusting

Long pad life

*Note: the brakepad wear sensors will not fit these pads

Race pedal feel

Add a little bling and better cooling/pad wear characteristics with the factory JCW drilled and slotted rotors. These are a direct bolt-on for R56 MINIs as well as R53 MINIs with the JCW brake upgrade. The price is for a pair of front rotors.

For those impossible rear caliper pistons. Now you can do it like the big boys do it.

For Mini Cooper and Mini Cooper S 2002-2006

There are 2 sensors for the Car, Front Left and Right Rear on
2003 cars and beyond. If the brake lining indicator light is illuminated on your dash, you need to replace the sensor with the pads.

This is a low metallic resin bonded material made from steel and acrylic fibers. It is suitable for heavy-duty road use and autocross, track/driver's education events. It is much better than the stock brake pads under heavy use. It keeps a constant friction level over a range of temperatures with the added advantage of a high cold friction eliminating the 'dead feel' on the first use. Optimal operating temperatures are 200-400 degrees Fahrenheit.

This is a low to medium metallic material using both ferrous and nonferrous materials with a high temperature abrasive/lubricant system. Optimal operating temperatures are 550-1000 degrees Fahrenheit. Not for street use.

This is a medium metallic material with the same specification as the M1155 material but with added inorganic compounds, which give it an enhanced friction level. These pads are for race use only: not for the street. Optimal operating temperatures are 950-1500 degrees Fahrenheit.

Mintex Redbox brake pads are your best choice for daily driving with frequent stops. The low dust formula keeps your wheels nice and clean. Our customers prefer the Mintex Redbox pads to the original pads because of excellent stopping power and cleaner wheels.

Not only do all manufacturing sites conform to ISO9002 standard but also the brake pads themselves have the added guarantee of being either E-Mark or KBA approved. This performance guarantee is in addition to our existing package of No Quibble replacement before 15,000 miles/ or 1 year, which is included in every Mintex box.

Powerslot Slotted Rotors

Excessive heat can cause resins in your brake pad to vaporize or "outgas." As the brake pad wears, the used friction material turns into a fine dust. This boundary layer of heat, gas and dust builds up between the pad and rotor surfaces and inhibits performance. Here's where Power Slot's slotted brake rotors make a big difference.

Power Slot's exclusive Vac-U-Slots are machined into the rotor and help evacuate gasses and dust, shed heat, and keep the brake pad surface clean. And in wet, raining conditions, our Vac-U-Slot helps push water off the braking surface for better stopping power.

The Vac-U-Slot also serves as a visual wear indicator. The slot is machined to the rotor’s minimum thickness where it crosses the outside edge. If you cannot see the slot along the outside edge, the rotor has worn down to its discard depth.
