EBC USR1487 Slotted Vented Front Brake Rotors (Pair, 280 mm)

Vehicle Fitment (common applications - verify for your car)

• 2007-2023 MINI Cooper / Clubman / Hardtop / Roadster (various 4-lug & 5-lug 280 mm rotor variants)
• 2011-2015 MINI Clubman (R55) 1.6 / 2.0-litre diesel / petrol variants
• 2010-2016 MINI Hatch / Roadster with 280 mm front rotor & compatible calipers

Features

• Fine-slotted "USR" rotor surface for efficient gas, dust, water and debris evacuation
• Vented, 1-piece cast-iron rotor construction - balances cost, durability, and performance
• Precision machined and run-out inspected for stable braking and minimized vibration
• Narrow-slot design reduces wind-noise common with open-slot rotors - "quiet performance" focus
• Corrosion-resistant coating (GEOMET / Thermic Black) for long life in varied climates
• Maintains flatter, more uniform pad wear over life compared with non-slotted rotors
• Sold as a front-axle pair (left + right rotors) - convenient for complete front-end replacement
• Improved cooling and fade resistance - beneficial for spirited street driving or heavy-use scenarios

Product Description

The EBC USR1487 rotor set offers a carefully engineered upgrade path for vehicles originally equipped with 280 mm front rotors. Its fine-slot design effectively evacuates gases, dust, water, and debris from the pad-rotor interface, promoting consistent pad contact and reducing the risk of brake fade under repeated braking or humid conditions. Because the slots are narrow and optimally angled, the rotors produce less air-noise than traditional open-slot or drilled rotors - delivering "quiet performance" while maintaining the benefits of a sport rotor.

Constructed from high-quality cast iron, precision machined and run-out tested, the USR1487 rotors provide stable braking feel and reliable service life. The vents help dissipate heat, while the corrosion-resistant coating ensures durability even in corrosive climates or winter conditions. Sold as a complete front-axle pair, this rotor set gives a straightforward bolt-on upgrade when paired with compatible brake pads and stock calipers, making it a practical choice for owners seeking improved braking reliability, reduced fade, and longer rotor life without sacrificing comfort or noise levels.

As with any brake component replacement, confirm your vehicle's rotor bolt pattern, rotor diameter, caliper clearance, and pad compatibility before ordering. After installation, check for rotor run-out, then perform a proper pad-bed-in procedure for optimal performance and rotor longevity.
