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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Power Slot Rotors now come with an electrocoating finish which provides better resistance to saltwater exposure without rusting and provides long lasting corrosion protection in the critical hat and cooling vane areas.

No machining needed.

TyrolSport’s revolutionary new Brake Caliper Stiffening bushings prevent the caliper flex inherent in the stock rubber-bushed design. This flex leads to uneven pad wear and rotor deposits under hard usage. An inexpensive upgrade to the stock that should be part of your next brake job. Track tested and mother approved! These are newly developed for the Mini Cooper and Mini Cooper S. They are offered for front calipers and back calipers and an availible stainless steel snapring option to replace the black phospate coated steel rings.

Features:

Forged Billet DynaPro 4 Piston Calipers: The DynaPro four-piston radial mount caliper is a combination of process and design. The process of stress-flow forging re-aligns the metal's grain structure within the contour of the caliper body. This eliminates the stresses and interruptions to the internal grain structure that occur when machining a straight block billet. The FEA generated radial transition design eliminates steps and shoulders in the area between the piston housing body and the caliper bridges. Incorporating a radius in this critical area substantially increases resistance to deflection and caliper separation.
The DynaPro uses a new 7816 type brake pad that is supported from the top by Quick-Clip pad retainers. This eliminates the need for a pad support step in the bottom of the caliper, and adds additional clearance for mounting closer to the hub on small wheel and rotor applications. The pad radius matches rotor diameters 9.45" - 12.19", and the caliper fits easily inside many 13" wheel applications. The Quick Clips also accommodate easy pad access without caliper removal. Other features include coated aluminum pistons fitted with high temperature rubber boots that seal out dirt, moisture, and debris from the piston bores. Every caliper is equipped with Wilwood's SRS stainless steel bridge plates. The SRS plates eliminate the bridge wear caused by pad gouging. The spring-loading action of the SRS plates also eliminates pad rattle and dampens the vibration harmonics that contribute to squeal under braking. Internal fluid passages eliminate the need for external tubes. Four corner bleed screws assure simple and effective air evacuation and allow one caliper to be mounted in any front, rear, right or left position.

Please allow 3-4 weeks extra for blue, silver and yellow calipers


GT Series Rotor Mounting Hats: GT aluminum hats are lightweight and strong. The hats are specially designed for use on OE hubs without modifications or interference to the suspension or ABS components. The hats carry Wilwood's signature and a black anodized finish that prevents corrosion and enhances the overall appearance of the complete package inside the wheel.

SRP or HP Series 12.19" Vented Iron Rotors: 12.19" vented iron rotors add stopping power and cooling capacity over smaller diameter OE rotors. All Wilwood rotors are manufactured from premium grade, long grain carbon iron to provide long wear with high thermal stability and resistance to distortion. The superior heat absorption and dissipation qualities of a vented iron rotor are essential to preventing heat fade and realizing the longest service life from the pads and rotors. Every kit in this group includes a 12.19" diameter SRP or HP series rotor. For custom, show, and high performance sport driving, SRP rotor kits offer the high-tech look and improved performance of a directional cross-drill and face slot pattern. In addition to their aesthetic appeal, the venting and cleaning action of the holes and slots will reduce pad glaze, dissipate surface heat, and minimize irregular pad build-up on the rotor faces. The results are smoother engagement with improved consistency and response at the pedal. SRP rotors are treated with a silver zinc wash to reduce corrosion on the areas of the rotor not kept clean by pad contact. HP rotor kits include close tolerance machined smooth faced rotors. The additional mass of the HP rotor extends service life on heavier competition vehicles and severe duty applications subject to higher sustained operating temperatures.

PolyMatrix Brake Pads: PolyMatrix 7816 "Q" compound pads operate at the lowest noise and dust level of any performance pad. "Q" has fast response, high resistance to fade, long wear, and the low rotor abrasion that PolyMatrix is so well known for.

Caliper Brackets and Hardware: Aluminum mount brackets with steel threaded bolt hole inserts are lightweight and strong. Each bracket is CNC machined for precise fit on each specific spindle. Grade 8 or higher and AN style nuts, bolts, studs, washers, and alignment shims are included in all applicable kits. Professional installation recommended.

Brake Flexlines: (Included) Wilwood’s stainless steel braided Flexlines are manufactured to high quality standards. These premium grade flexlines are durable and provide “hard line” pedal feel.
