EBC S9KF1455 Yellowstuff + USR Slotted Front Brake Kit - 280 mm Front Rotors

Vehicle Fitment

• 2007-2023 MINI Cooper (Hardtop, Clubman, Convertible, John Cooper Works, various trims, front axle with 4-lug 280 mm rotor setup)
• 2008-2014 MINI Cooper Clubman (all relevant trims with 280 mm front rotors)
• 2012-2015 MINI Cooper Coupe / Roadster / John Cooper Works variants (with stock 280 mm front rotors)

Features

• High-friction Yellowstuff brake pads for strong initial bite and consistent braking performance
• USR fine-slotted sport rotors - slots evacuate brake gases, dust, water, and debris for reliable pad-to-rotor contact under repeated braking
• Vented 1-piece front rotors to improve cooling and reduce fade during spirited driving or daily use
• Geomet/anti-rust coating on rotors for corrosion resistance and extended rotor life
• Pads come fully shimmed, chamfered, and include EBC's "Brake-In" surface finish for faster bedding in and reliable initial bite
• Direct bolt-on kit - designed for use with stock 280 mm front rotors, hubs, and calipers (no modification required when fitment matches)
• Balanced for street and light-track use - good compromise of strong stopping power, rotor friendliness, and daily usability
• Reduced wind-noise from fine-slot rotor design, compared with aggressive open-slot or drilled rotors

Specifications

• Position: Front axle (2-wheel set)
• Rotor diameter: 280 mm
• Rotor construction: Vented, 1-piece, slotted (USR series)
• Bolt pattern: 4-lug (as per compatible MINI hubs with 280 mm rotors)
• Pad material: High-friction Yellowstuff aramid-fiber compound (street/track use)
• Included quantity: 2 front rotors (left + right) + full front pad set (for both wheels)
• Intended use: Performance upgrade - street driving, spirited driving, occasional track use (not dedicated racing use)

Included Components

• 2x Front USR slotted vented rotors (280 mm diameter)
• 1x Set of Yellowstuff front brake pads (for both front wheels - total 4 pads)
• Pre-installed pad shims / chamfers / pad "Brake-In" coating (as per EBC packaging)

Product Description

The EBC S9KF1455 brake kit combines high-friction Yellowstuff pads with USR slotted vented rotors, delivering a bolt-on performance upgrade for compatible MINI Cooper, Clubman, Coupe, and Roadster models equipped with 280 mm front rotors. The Yellowstuff pads provide strong initial bite and consistent stopping power, while the slotted, vented rotors help dissipate heat, expel debris and gases, and maintain stable pad-to-rotor contact under repeated braking - reducing fade and improving brake feel. The fine-slot rotor design also reduces wind-noise and promotes more even pad and rotor wear compared with aggressive drilled or open-slot rotors.

Designed as a direct-bolt replacement, this kit fits stock hubs, rotors, and calipers for the listed years and trims - making it a practical upgrade for drivers looking to enhance braking confidence without sacrificing comfort or wheel-cleanliness. The corrosion-resistant rotor coating combined with pre-shimed, chamfered pads simplifies installation and long-term maintenance. For daily drivers who enjoy spirited driving or occasional track sessions, S9KF1455 strikes a balance between strong braking performance, durability, and everyday usability.

Before ordering or installation: verify your vehicle's front rotor diameter (must be 280 mm), hub bolt pattern (4-lug), caliper type, and pad backing geometry. After installation, check rotor run-out, torque hardware to spec, and perform a proper pad bedding-in procedure to ensure optimal braking performance and rotor longevity.
