Product Description

The EBC S13KF1635 Stage 13 front brake kit is a performance upgrade system designed for compatible MINI Cooper platforms. It combines EBC Yellowstuff high-friction brake pads with RK OE-style vented rotors to deliver improved braking response, higher thermal stability, and more consistent stopping performance compared to factory braking components.

Yellowstuff brake pads provide strong initial bite and maintain stable friction under a wide range of temperatures, making them suitable for spirited street driving. The Geomet-coated rotors offer corrosion resistance while ensuring smooth rotor-to-pad interaction and reduced vibration during braking cycles.

This kit is intended for direct front axle replacement on compatible MINI Cooper R50/R53 models equipped with the standard 4-lug non-Brembo brake system. Proper bedding-in is required to achieve optimal performance and long-term braking efficiency.
