Axxis Ultimate brake pads for the MINI are a Kevlar and Ceramic compound that offers Cooper owners far and away the best price to performance ratio currently available in a performance street pad. When installing this pad on your Mini, you must be sure to properly bed the Ultimates in; this procedure is critical to achieve the optimum performance from this pad. Once bedded correctly, you can expect greatly improved initial bite, higher operating temperature range, and minimal rotor wear. Axxis Ultimates are know to create a noticeable amount of dust, but are also a very quiet pad. Axxis Ultimates are excellent for the moderately aggressive daily driven Cooper and are a capable autocross pad.
