PowerStop PSA-1204 Disc Brake Pad Set - Front

Front Track Day Brake Pads for Mini Cooper

Power Stop PSA-1204 front brake pads are built for track day drivers and spec racing use, with a platform-specific compound tuned for Mini applications. They deliver a high coefficient of friction and fade resistance for repeated hard braking on R-compound tires.

Compatible With select 2006-2016 Mini Cooper, Cooper Countryman, and Cooper Paceman front brake applications, these pads are aimed at drivers who want consistent pedal response during demanding lapping sessions. The Power Stop Track Day Spec line focuses on vehicle-specific pad compounds rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

Key Features

• Front disc brake pad set for performance driving
• Metallic friction material with slotted pad design
• Chamfered edges for smoother pad engagement
• Pad shims included for added fitment support
• Brake lubricant included
• Mounting hardware included
• Pad wear sensor not included
• Outer and inner pad friction material thickness: 16.6 mm

Track-Focused Pad Compound

Power Stop PSA-1204 is part of the Track Day Spec brake pad line, developed for experienced drivers running Mini Cooper, Mini Cooper Countryman, or Mini Cooper Paceman front brakes in track day and spec racing environments. The compound is selected for platform-specific braking behavior, helping maintain friction under repeated high-temperature stops while reducing fade compared with street-oriented pad materials. This part number is PSA-1204.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Brake fade during repeated high-speed braking events
• Inconsistent pedal feel after multiple hot laps
• Reduced braking confidence with R-compound tires
• Need for a track-oriented front pad on Mini Cooper platforms
• Wear-prone street pad performance under racing heat

Installation Notes and Fitment

Fits 2012-2016 Mini Cooper Countryman, front; 2013-2016 Mini Cooper Paceman, front; 2012-2015 Mini Cooper, front; 2008-2010 Mini Cooper, front; 2011 Mini Cooper Countryman, front; 2008 Mini Cooper, front; 2007 Mini Cooper, front; 2006 Mini Cooper, front.
