Daily Workday Snippets - Mini Cooper S 5-Door PRE-LCI (F55) : JCW Brake Kit, BREMBO PRIME Brake Discs + Ceramic Brake Pads, GOODRIDGE Stainless Steel Braided Brake Lines, MOTUL RBF 700 Racing Brake Fluid.
Continuing the upgrades for this Mini Cooper S F55 - Brakes. We prepared and installed our preowned set of F-series MINI JCW front and rear brake kit. The rear brakes for the JCW and Cooper S are actually identical, just that the JCW has the brake calipers painted in red.
We've then replaced the front and rear brake discs with a new set from BREMBO PRIME as well as new rear brake pads with BREMBO PRIME Ceramic. Front brake pads were only used for a very short mileage and were in perfectly good condition, so we've recommended reusing them.
To further enhance the braking improvement, all four brake lines were replaced with the Premium Performance Brake Lines kit from GOODRIDGE. 🇬🇧
For the finishing step, we carried out a full brake fluid flush service using MOTUL RBF 700 Racing Brake Fluid. 🇫🇷
Brembo Prime brake discs with special UV paint treatment guarantees superior corrosion resistance, thanks to the protective coating on the outer edges and on the disc hub.
Brembo Prime Ceramic brake pad ensures comfort and quality, with specific focus on noise and vibration reduction for maximum driving comfort. Also, reduced friction wear and low dust emission keeps your wheels cleaner for longer.
Goodridge Premium Performance Brake Lines replace the factory rubber lines with stainless steel braided construction, which resists expansion under hard braking. The result: a firmer, more responsive brake pedal feel and more consistent, predictable braking — especially noticeable under repeated hard stops.
