dustless brakes for JCW
We own a 2003 Mini Cooper S with the JCW package.
The white wheels are just filthy from the brake pad dust. We clean them but it doesn't take any time for the dust to show up again. I see that ceramic pads are desirable for low dust and high performance. Does the Mini with the JCW package take a different style of pad compared to the non JCW MINI? Thanks for any help that you may be able to provide. sreno155 |

I went with a set of KVR carbon fiber pads .... very low dust

RE: dustless brakes for JCW
To answer your question,no the calipers are about the same except for them being painted red. Theyuse the same type of pads, but the JCW pads are a little bit more aggressive as far as their materials. I use Mintex Pads on my 03 MCS, and their great as far as dust goes. I can go 2 weeks without cleaning my wheels, and they show lite dust. The OEMpads are high in silica, so they produce allot of dust. The pads are made in Germany, just like the pads on my 5 Series, and I absolutely hated it. But I used Mintex pads, with great satisfaction. I strongly recommend them, and their rotor friendly, with great braking fiction, with low dust, what else can you ask for.
