PBS Front High Carbon Grooved Brake Discs – MINI R50 / R52 / R53

Upgrade the front braking setup on your MINI R50, R52 or R53 with PBS High Carbon Grooved Brake Discs, designed as a performance-focused replacement for the standard OEM discs.

Manufactured with a high carbon content for improved strength under repeated heavy braking, these 276mm front discs are particularly well suited to fast-road and track use where braking temperatures and loads can be significantly higher than normal road driving.

The grooved disc face is designed to improve pad bite while helping manage heat and maintain airflow across the braking surface.
