What’s the best brake fluid for a MINI Gen 2 Cooper S or JCW?

How often should MINI Gen 2 brake fluid be changed?

What are the signs of worn brakes on a MINI R56?

Do I need to upgrade brake lines on my MINI Gen 2?

Braided stainless steel lines improve brake feel and consistency under heat. They’re a worthwhile upgrade for any performance MINI — and essential for track days. View our large range of MINI Gen 2 brake lines.

Will upgraded brakes fit under stock MINI Gen 2 wheels?

It depends on the size. Some JCW or aftermarket kits may require 17" or 18" wheels for clearance. Check offset and calliper dimensions before purchasing.

Is it worth upgrading MINI Gen 2 brakes for daily driving?

Yes - even modest upgrades like better pads, fluid, and lines can make a big difference to safety and pedal feel without compromising comfort. Lohen has a large range of MINI Gen 2 brake performance upgrades.

How do I know if my MINI Gen 2 needs new brake discs?

Look for signs like scoring or grooves on the disc surface, vibrations when braking, or discs worn below the minimum thickness. A visual check or micro meter measurement can confirm. Browse all MINI Gen 2 disk brakes
