Mini Cooper Brake Rotors

Pushing the brake pedal, you actuate the brake system, which immediately starts transforming the kinetic energy of your moving Mini Cooper into heat. It happens through friction appearing between the brake pads and rotors. Both of these components encounter intensive abrasive wear, but because of their harder surface and bigger area, the rotors suffer less. Overall, the service life of the rotors can be three times longer than that of the pads. However, it heavily depends on the quality of the rotors themselves and characteristics of the pads they contact.

As the service life of brake rotors also depends on driver’s habits, it’s nearly impossible to predict an exact service interval. The rotor gets thinner; sometimes, the minimum thickness is engraved on its edge, or you can get this information from the repair guide and compare it with your measurements. When the actual thickness is less than the permitted minimal one, replace the worn-out rotor, otherwise it can get deformed or even crack during extreme braking. The quality of the replacements matters, but you have no reasons to doubt it with the products from our Mini Cooper brake rotors collection.
