MINI Mini Hatch (3rd Gen)(F56) 2.0 Turbo Cooper S 2014- - Discs & Pads
The latest in sport discs feature wide aperture slots that draw cool air into the braking contact area and reduce temperatures preventing brake fade. Dimple drilling avoids stress cracks and the thermic black coating provides great looks whilst preventing corrosion. EBC sport discs now feature reduced 3 slot venting which provides slightly less air noise under heavy braking whilst still maintaining the benefits of cooler running with the full width slot design. The design of these discs means that some wind noise is observed and if drivers feel they would find this offensive they are advised to select the quieter USR Ultimax series or the EBC plain disc. Another great feature of slotted discs is the way they MAINTAIN FLAT AND PARALLEL PAD WEAR and avoid the record grooves or galling common with non-slotted discs. This improves pad contact and braking throughout the life of the disc and pad set.
- GREENSTUFF EBC Brakes Greenstuff is a high friction Kevlar based pad compound designed to improve stopping power on lighter cars such as hot hatches and sport saloons in spirited highway driving. The Greenstuff range delivers improved brake response from hot or cold and emits less dust than equivalent semi-metallic pads.
- ORANGESTUFF Developed as a full race pad with a high friction level that increases with temperature. This material works best on light to middleweight high powered race cars where a higher fade resistance and wear life is desirable compared to Yellowstuff. Despite having an acceptable cold friction making this material street usable, the hot friction is deemed too high for ECE R90 approval and therefore this material is not road legal within Europe.
- YELLOWSTUFF EBC Brakes Yellowstuff compound is a high performance road pad that is also suitable for track use and works really well from cold. If you want the ultimate in high friction braking, this is the pad to choose. Brakes feel superb from first touch of the pedal and stay effective right up to race temperatures. EBC Brakes Yellowstuff is designed for faster, higher horsepower cars where maximum stopping power is the prime requirement as well as for track use. The dust rating is less than OEM parts. Where necessary, all pads come with edge chamfers, noise reduction shims and OEM hardware. All EBC Brakes Yellowstuff pads feature the Brake-In surface coating which helps pads to seat quickly after installation.
