When I called the Mini dealership, they wanted $400 for the four rotors for my daughter's 2007 R56 Mini Cooper S. This package on Amazon includes all four rotors for less than $150, plus it includes ceramic pads & sensors, which is an absolute bargain. What adds to the bargain is these rotors are drilled & slotted, unlike the factory rotors which are not. The drilling & slotting adds a lot more labor in their manufacturing process, so these should be a lot more expensive. Of course all that is meaningless if they don't fit. I called the company that makes the rotors and asked for the diameter of their front & rear rotors, and over the phone the dimensions matched the factory ones perfectly. If these parts didn't fit, it would be a pain to return, but I figured it was worth the risk since the dimensions verbally matched. The company makes them to order, so be patient. Our box arrived in less than two weeks, and everything did fit perfectly. Hooray. We were able to reset the brake pad service light (which can be a huge pain on BMW's & Mini's) because of the new sensors. The brakes work great (and look cool since they're drilled & slotted), so it all worked out perfectly. The Mini dealership wanted around $1200 for the whole job. With these parts, and a couple of hours labor, we saved over $1000, so definitely the way to go. Highly recommended.
Just ordered and installed these on my 2008 Mini hatchback. Was contacted by the seller right after the order to make sure the parts for my car were correct checking make, model, and year before charging me. Pretty impressed with that. Received the items on time, and it was packed well. All the parts look new and were there. Everything fit just as advertised, and my mini is stopping like a champ again. Would definitely order these again.
Haven't put tooo many miles on these yet... But the Rotors and Pads fit perfectly, and seem to be top notch quality. Vendor checked twice to ensure they were the correct size for my 2009 Mini Cooper S... They were! Thanks for the follow-up.
They fit as promised, decent quality for the price. Pads are so-so. They work well in dry , much firmer pedal in wet.
All in all I'm satisfied and would recommend, for a daily driver . Not a track worthy setup. Installed on Mini Clubman S.
Very good stopping power. This is the first time I have put brakes and rotors on my 2010 Mini Cooper S N14 so I can't compare them to the expensive brands but these work and look great with the drilled and slotted pattern. They come with sensors and pads. I easily saved over $400 getting these. I am lucky to have found a mechanic that will put on products that I buy elsewhere. No issues. Just make sure you buy the correct size for your Mini. JCW requires a different size!

I ordered this item to replace my wife's 08 r56 Cooper S brakes. As others have stated, the rotors seem to have a coating that makes them under perform at first. This goes away within the first hundred miles or so. After that, they perform as well as the OEM. I liked them enough to order the 02-06 version for my r53.
So far so good. These should be standard in all Mini Cooper S Models. I feel a huge stopping difference with the drilled and slotting rotors.
Perfect fit for my 2008 Mini Cooper S. Simple to install. Be aware the front/rear sensors are different so make sure you open both before installing. Loaner tool to compress rear rotors is necessary.
These fit perfect for a 2008 mini Cooper clubman S, the only downside is that it does not come with hardware
Used in my 2008 Mini Cooper S. So far very happy with the product. Easy to install. Only thing is I wish it would’ve said which brake sensor goes where. We didn’t realize they were different and had to go back and swap them out. Not a big deal, just an inconvenience. Hoping the design helps brakes to breath better.
