Caliper render for this kit:
The F60 Countryman marked Mini’s decisive move into genuine crossover territory. Built on BMW’s UKL2 platform, it runs longer, wider, and considerably heavier than any Countryman before it. In 2WD configuration the COOPER S channels all of that turbocharged performance through the front axle alone, and on a nose-heavy front-wheel-drive car the front brakes are doing essentially all the work on every hard stop.
That is the context for the XYZ Racing front big brake kit. Developed for the F60 generation specifically in 2WD form across the full 2017-2026 production span, it addresses the gap between what Mini fitted at the factory and what a car of this weight and pace actually demands at the front axle. It is a single-axle kit: a matched pair of front calipers and two-piece floating discs for the left and right corners.
What this brake kit does for your 2017-2026 Mini COOPER S (F60) Countryman 2WD
Larger discs and an upgraded forged caliper at the nose deliver more bite earlier in the pedal travel, noticeable on the first hard stop and far more relevant across the tenth. For a 2WD car where the front axle carries all deceleration load, the improved thermal capacity directly reduces the risk of fade under repeated heavy stops. The hollow-vane disc draws air through the rotor body to shed heat, and the two-piece floating disc on its alloy centre bell trims unsprung and rotating mass to keep the steering responsive, with braided stainless lines holding the pedal firm as temperatures climb. Three pad compounds cover the range of use: Street is the quiet, low-dust default for everyday road miles, Sport adds a more assertive bite and heat range without sacrificing cold-morning usability, and Racing is for circuit sessions where the compound needs to come up to temperature quickly and hold there. The chosen caliper finish completes the specification.
About the Front Big Brake Kit
The XYZ Racing front brake kit is built around a larger two-piece floating disc and an uprated forged caliper designed to close the gap between OEM performance and sustained hard use. Increasing disc diameter and improving caliper rigidity reduces the temperature build-up that causes fade and pedal softness when brakes are worked repeatedly under load. Applied to the front axle of the 2017-2026 Mini COOPER S Countryman 2WD, the axle that handles all braking work in a 2WD crossover, the effect is a system that keeps its composure where the factory setup starts to soften. Compound runs from Street for road use through Sport for progressive fast-road bite to Racing for high-temperature circuit work. The caliper is hollow-bodied as standard, with painted finishes at no extra cost in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, or Anodized Black, a Custom Color to any Pantone for £150, polished-forged Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver, and candy finishes in Teal, Blue, Red and Orange. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, two-tone centre bells in five anodized colours or titanium, and a Hollow Racing upgrade is available for the track, dropping the dust cover, rated to 1000C with a two-year warranty.
Fitment for the Mini COOPER S (F60) COUNTRYMAN 2WD (2017-2026)
This kit is specific to the F60-generation COOPER S Countryman in 2WD configuration, covering the full production run from 2017 through to 2026. The 2WD and ALL4 four-wheel-drive variants use different front-end setups, so confirm your Countryman is the 2WD model before ordering. The F60 chassis code also distinguishes this generation from the earlier R60 Countryman, which runs a different fitment entirely.

Choosing your spec
Every kit is built to order around the choices you make above. Here is what each option actually changes, so you can spec yours with confidence.
Brake pads — Street, Sport or Racing
Every kit ships with a full set of high-performance pads; the compound is your call.
Street is the right default for fast-road driving — a strong, progressive cold bite with low noise, low dust and long disc life. Sport raises the working temperature and adds bite and fade resistance for hard road use and the occasional track day, while still behaving on a cold morning. Racing is a track compound built for sustained abuse: huge fade resistance and bite once heat is in it, at the cost of more noise and dust when cold. Match the pad to how hard you actually use the brakes — there is no benefit to a race pad that never gets up to temperature.
Caliper grade — Hollow vs Hollow Racing
Hollow is the standard caliper on every kit: a hollow-body forged caliper, lighter than a solid one, fitted with a dust cover and backed by a 5-year oil-leak warranty. For most fast-road and spirited track use it is all the caliper you need.
Hollow Racing is the track-grade upgrade. It runs the same hollow body but without a dust cover (so there is nothing to melt at sustained high temperature), uses a twin-metal piston that isolates heat travelling from the disc to the oil seal, and is rated to 1000°C. Available 286–380mm (front). Warranty is 2 years on oil leaks and 10 years on appearance. Built for professional racing and repeated track days.
Caliper colour & finish
Painted colours (Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, Anodized Black) are included at no cost. Want an exact match to your car? Custom Color (+£150) paints the calipers to any Pantone code you supply (15–20 day lead time).
Polished Forged finishes are the flagship: a forged caliper given a mirror-polished surface treatment that shifts colour with the viewing angle. Beyond the looks, the polished surface dissipates heat better, resists rust and stands up to the weather. Choose Titanium (neochrome, +£350), Polished Gold (+£300) or Polished Silver (+£250). They look their best paired with a titanium centre bell. Care: clean only with a dilute neutral cleaner or water.
Candy colours (+£200) use a deep candy-paint and polishing process for a mirror-reflection, boutique finish — pick Teal, Blue, Red or Orange (shown below right).
Centre bells
The centre bell is the CNC-machined aluminium hat that joins the disc to the hub. The standard anodized centre bell is included. The Two-tone bell (+£200) adds an anodized accent ring — choose Red, Yellow, Orange, Purple or Silver right here at checkout. The Titanium centre bell (+£500) is a forged titanium bell (bolts not included) that finishes off the polished-forged look.
