Product Description

The EBC DP41388R Yellowstuff Front Brake Pads are a high-performance brake upgrade designed to replace the front pads on first-generation MINI Cooper, Cooper S, One hatchbacks (R50/R53) and early Convertible (R52) models. Built with EBC's Yellowstuff compound, these pads deliver significantly increased friction straight from cold, giving drivers confident stopping power during spirited street driving and light track use. The aramid fiber construction ensures consistent pedal feel and excellent durability, while the pre-scorched Brake-In™ surface accelerates the bedding-in process after installation.

Featuring chamfers and slots to help reduce noise and manage heat buildup, these front pads are engineered for performance without sacrificing road legality where ECE R90 approval applies. They are a direct fit for front brake systems on the listed MINI models, making them a popular choice for enthusiasts seeking improved braking confidence over many original equipment pads. Proper bedding-in after installation is recommended to optimize performance and pad life.
