Fitment Notes

• Fits base Cooper (non-S) models only - the Cooper S uses a larger front rotor and requires a different pad number (DP42227R for F-series, DP41854R for R-series JCW/S).
• JCW models listed in some catalogs should be verified against brake code - JCW typically uses the larger S-spec caliper and rotor.
• Compatible with OEM, slotted, and cross-drilled rotors using the standard 280mm front rotor setup.
• Fits front axle only. Do not install high-performance front pads without upgrading rear pads simultaneously.
• Not a low-dust compound - dust output is comparable to OEM pads.

Features

• Aramid fiber Yellowstuff compound delivers strong bite from cold - no warm-up required for street use.
• Zero brake fade under repeated hard braking; friction increases as heat builds rather than falling off.
• Patented Brake-In™ surface coating accelerates bed-in and removes rotor glazing immediately after install.
• Beveled pad edges and center-line slot minimize noise and help prevent thermal cracking under aggressive use.
• Copper-free 2021 updated compound - environmentally compliant without sacrificing performance.
• ECE R90 approved - street-legal and safety certified for public road use worldwide.
• Fully shimmed, chamfered, and slotted construction for quiet, progressive pedal feel in all conditions.
• High friction formula delivers up to 30% improved stopping power over OEM pads.

Product Description

The EBC DP42056R Yellowstuff Front Brake Pads are a high-friction street upgrade engineered specifically for the base MINI Cooper (non-S) across both the second-generation R-series (2007-2015) and third-generation F-series (2014-2022) platforms. Using the standard 280mm front rotor and TRW caliper, this pad delivers a meaningful braking step-up over the factory compound - working effectively from cold and improving in response as temperatures rise. With up to 30% greater stopping power than OEM pads and zero brake fade under spirited use, it's a natural upgrade for MINI owners who want more confidence from their front brakes on daily drives, spirited back roads, or occasional light track days.

Installation is a direct bolt-on to the factory caliper with no modifications required. The 2021 copper-free Yellowstuff compound self-seats quickly via the Brake-In™ coating, and the fully shimmed, chamfered construction keeps noise to a minimum during everyday use. MINI owners should note that this pad is specifically sized for the base Cooper's smaller front brake package - Cooper S, JCW, and GP models use a larger caliper and rotor setup that requires a different pad number.
