On my 2011 Clubman S with a new pair of Centric rotors, the brake pedal feels spongy at fist but everything improves after 700 miles on the street. I am quite happy with its performance now. It is also much less dusty. Howeve there is a better Akebono brake pad for my car that Amazon filter incorrectly say not fit. The other pad is Akebono EUR1204 which is also a correct part according to Akebono website and other online retailers. It appears that the EUR1204 covers more surface of the rotor toward the hub and would rub against all surface area not coated with the E coating - the EUR1308 leaves a small area to rust. I guess the EUR1308 pads are a perfect fit for rotors without or with full anti rust coating, or if the rotor hub is too big to use with the EUR1204. I only take out one star because I use it with Centric rotors which are partially e-coated.
Fits my mini perfectly. Quiet, almost no brake dust! I finally can see the silver color of the rim instead of what the dealer installed that produced sooooo much dust that a freshly washed rim will turn gray and then black in just 4 days!!!
Extremely happy. Highly recommend!
Excellent brake pads, packed well! Had everything needed for the replacement of old pads except for the brake sensors. Which is fine as it didn't describe them as included so all is good there. The main reason I purchased these pads were to replace the OEM BMW pads on my Mini R55 because they were throwing way too much brake dust for my liking. These have been wonderful, very minimal dust coming from these.
Perfect match for 2012 Mini Cooper. considerably less dust then the OEM. Arrived on time. No issues.
These are the greatest brake pads I've ever used. Better than Hawks or Stop Techs. They're clean, quiet, don't fade, and have great initial bite. I would put then on every car I have if they made them for all of them.
