Fitment Notes

• Front axle kit only - does not include rear brake components.
• This kit fits MINI models equipped with the 294mm front rotor brake setup, found on Cooper S, JCW, and Clubman S trims. It does not fit base Cooper models with the smaller 280mm front rotor.
• Covers both the final-year Gen 2 R-series (R55, R56, R57, R58, R59) and early Gen 3 F-series (F56, F54) models that share the same front brake hardware.

Features

• EBC Redstuff ceramic compound delivers strong, fade-resistant braking from cold with an approximate friction coefficient of 0.5 - equal to or better than OEM pads right from the first stop.
• Aramid fiber base reinforced with ceramic granules reduces brake dust by up to 60-90%, leaving wheels noticeably cleaner between washes.
• Patented EBC Brake-In™ surface coating conditions the rotor and accelerates pad bed-in immediately after installation.
• RK-series rotors are precision-machined from premium G3000 grey cast iron to exact OE dimensions - a direct-fit replacement with no modification required.
• Thermic black anti-rust (Geomet) coating on rotors provides long-lasting corrosion resistance and a clean factory-style finish.
• All rotors are 100% run-out tested and factory QC inspected for smooth, vibration-free braking from day one.
• Pads are fully shimmed, slotted, and chamfered for quiet, even braking.
• Saves approximately 10% compared to purchasing pads and rotors separately.

Product Description

The EBC S12KF1848 is a front brake kit designed for MINI Cooper S and JCW models spanning both the Gen 2 R-series and early Gen 3 F-series platforms. It pairs EBC's Redstuff ceramic pads with premium RK1488 OE-replacement rotors, delivering noticeably improved stopping performance and a dramatic reduction in brake dust - a particularly meaningful upgrade on open-spoke MINI wheels where dust buildup is highly visible.

The RK1488 rotors are machined to OE dimensions using G3000 spec grey cast iron and feature a thermic black anti-rust Geomet coating for long-term corrosion resistance. Every rotor undergoes run-out testing before leaving the factory, ensuring a smooth, judder-free pedal feel right out of the box. Installation is direct-fit with no modifications required, making this a clean and straightforward upgrade for any Cooper S or JCW owner.
