Powerstop Brake Pads

Hey NAM!

Im looking into replacing the brake pads on my 04 R53, as they're at the end of their life, and was wondering if anyone has any experience with powerstop ceramic pads? All that I really know about them is that they won't break the bank, and someone on a Mitsubishi Evolution forum was saying they're fine for daily driving/occasional autocross use. Im curious if anyone here has used them on their MINI, and if so would you recommend them? And is there anything in particular I should know?

Here is the companies website, for the curious: http://www.powerstop.com/products

The two part numbers it gave me were 16-939 and 16-1060. But, it never asked if my car was an S or NON-S, and I know the S has larger brakes, so I'm also not entirely certain if thats entirely correct.

Thanks everyone!!!

Just chiming in on the ceramic pads in general, I've heard great reviews about them eliminating the brake dust and last for a pretty long time. Good luck if anyone else can answer this question.
