Mini hot hatches punch well above their weight, so the brakes have to keep up with boost, grip and late turn-in. This section focuses on Mini R53 and R56 Cooper S, JCW and GP2 brake performance parts, lining up discs and pads that suit hard-driven builds rather than gentle city use.

The R53 Cooper S sits right in the sweet spot for supercharged fun. Performance front and rear discs with uprated pads give stronger bite into roundabouts, better control when trail braking and a pedal that still feels solid after repeated hard use.

Step up to the R53 Cooper S JCW and things get faster again. The listings here aim at setups that suit mapped cars, stickier tyres and more aggressive driving, with brake performance tuned for heat control as well as outright stopping power.

The later R56 Cooper S brings turbo torque into the mix, so good brakes matter even more when the boost hits. Matching the correct disc sizes with performance pad compounds and quality fluid keeps braking consistent on B roads and slip roads, not just the school run.

For R56 Cooper S JCW and GP2, the focus turns to drivers who push hard on track and backroads. Options in this area lean towards aggressive pad materials and robust disc designs that stay composed when the car is deep into triple figures and the braking point keeps moving later.

Across the page, each Mini model section lines up brake discs, pads and related hardware with the correct generation and spec. Pick R53 or R56, Cooper S, JCW or GP2, match the listings to the car and build a setup that feels ready for limiter pulls, late braking and flat-out runs whenever the road or track allows.
