I’ve not been out in mine to test them yet, it will take 200 miles before I can bed them in, then after 200 miles I have to do 5 hard stops from 60mph to 20mph.

Replace all my rotors for stop tech ceramic pad. Running with oem mini genuine pad- they are semi metallic. Problem: leaves large amount of brake dust on my front wheel drive car. Would you recommend using the yellow stuff or red stuff? I don’t wanna warp or have hot spot on my new rotors lol

Great video! A quick question about the brake pad. I have to use a flat screw driver to force the pads into the bracket. They are very tight after installing. Is that normal? I see you skipped that part.
@BenRolfe
@BenRolfe 2 жыл бұрын
Hey! They do seem a bit tighter than usual, I think it’s because of the metal clip that’s in place on the pads. Mine was the same.

@BenRolfe
@BenRolfe 3 жыл бұрын
Hey! I didn’t use any jack blocks. I do have jack stands to hand but they weren’t suitable for where I was installing the brakes. I used my wheel instead, granted, it’s not ideal but they need refurbishing or I may just get some new alloys!

Hi Ben, Have you any videos on how to remove the Glove Compartment to give easy access to fuses?
@BenRolfe
@BenRolfe Жыл бұрын
Hi! I don’t but it’s very easy to remove. There is a screw inside the glove box at the top which needs to be removed as well as two under the door which have covers over the top. Once you’ve removed all of the screws the glove box pulls out.

Does it improve the brake performance at then end ? (Cold road usage and for spirited drive). I am interested on your advise since on my 2015 MCS, brake performance is the main disappointment.
@BenRolfe
@BenRolfe 3 жыл бұрын
Hey 👋 brake performance has improved pre brake bed in. I should imagine that after I have bedded the brakes in the performance will have changed drastically. I have only done 50 miles so far with them so I still need to do 150 before I can bed them in. I’ve heard the yellow stuff pads are the best pads you can get for the stock Cooper S set up.

I just installed those pads on my F56 S and hearing a metallic noise while moving at low velocity (sub 10 mph), the pads are moving inside the caliper but they fit perfectly on the disc... any thoughts? After 10/20 miles it brakes very good and no more noise Thanks

Nice video! Have a question - I've recently replaced my rear discs and brake pads with factory default. Front brakes should be replaced as well very soon, and I like the idea of upgrading brakes with something bit better. Question is - should I mix Brembo in front with EBC brake pads and factory default in the rear?

You don't need to remove the pads before removing the brake caliper mounting bracket. You can also leave the brake disk screw in but leave it loose so the disk doesn't fall.

You could do as long as your current disks haven’t got a considerable lip. But it’s probably advisable to change both pads and disks.
