EBC Front Brake Kit: Yellowstuff Pads and USR Slotted Rotors for MINI Cooper
The EBC front brake kit is designed specifically for reliable performance in daily driving and spirited track sessions. This complete front brake replacement combines EBC's Yellowstuff high-friction pads with USR slotted rotors, delivering consistent bite from cold starts through high-heat conditions while minimizing dust and noise compared to standard OEM setups. Drivers report shorter stopping distances and less fade during repeated hard braking, making this kit a direct fit for enthusiasts seeking dependable control without the hassle of mismatched components.
What's Included in the S9KF1455 Kit
This kit provides everything needed for a straightforward front brake installation:
- 1 Pair of EBC USR1487 Slotted Front Rotors: Precision-machined cast iron rotors with a narrow-angle slotted design for effective gas and debris evacuation. Each rotor measures 280mm (11.02 inches) in diameter, 22mm thick, with 44mm height, 64.1mm center bore, and 4-lug bolt pattern. Finished in durable gray Geomet coating to resist rust and ensure smooth bedding-in.
- 1 Set of EBC DP42056R Yellowstuff Front Brake Pads: Four aramid fiber-reinforced pads (FMSI D1308) with integrated shims, chamfers, and slots for reduced vibration. Pad dimensions: 131mm length, 53mm width, 17mm thickness. Features EBC's Brake-In coating for immediate usability from the first press.
All components arrive pre-matched for bolt-on compatibility, eliminating guesswork during install. No additional hardware required for stock caliper setups.

Key Specifications and Performance Notes
- Rotor Material and Design: High-carbon cast iron with slotted surface for cooler operation and even wear. Vented construction promotes airflow, reducing heat buildup by up to 20% over plain rotors in dyno tests.
- Pad Compound: Yellowstuff formulation offers a friction coefficient of 0.52 (GG-rated) for strong initial grab, maintaining effectiveness from 50°F to over 1,000°F without glazing. Low dust output keeps wheels cleaner than semi-metallic alternatives.
- Overall Kit Benefits: Engineered for street and light track duty, this setup provides progressive feel and quick modulation. Independent tests show 10-15% improvement in fade resistance versus factory pads during 10-stop simulations from 60-0 mph.
- Part Numbers: Kit - S9KF1455, Rotors - USR1487 (pair), Pads - DP42056R (set of 4).
Shipping and Packaging Information
- Kit Weight: Approximately 40 lbs (includes packaging for safe transit).
- Box Dimensions: 12 inches (width) x 12 inches (depth) x 24 inches (height), compact for easy storage and standard carrier handling.
