Just wondering but why do you want the ebc green pads? As far as less brake dust goes I have heard that they are just about the same as stock. I hated the stock pads because they were so chalky. I went with the ferodo performance pads and have noticed quite a bit of improvement. Less dust better bite for a longer time.

thanks. i don't know much about the aftermarket parts for Mini. i only heard about ebc from some magazine.... ok, so sounds like ferodo is a better one to go for. do they offer front and rear brake pad for 2004 and up Cooper S? and where can i buy them? could you give me the link please? thank you.

u can try raceshopper.. they have both for about 250 us all together with shipping... much better than any other place.. .

i wouldn't recommend ds2500 if you are just driving on the street and no tracking.. and probably recommened against getting both done as well... the mini's got very heavy front bias so you won't be working the rear half as badly as the front in performance driving... i run the ds2500 as well.. squeals quite badly if you apply light braking alot in parking lots.. but you can elimate it pretty much just go to canadian tire and pick up a bottle of squeal stop

i hear hawk hps is a really good one for pure street and heavy street use like autocross and fast roads, also try williams performance s2 pads... which are their autocross/street pad,
