Just ordered myself some new pads for my 2003 cooper s works. Gone for some yellowstuff pads (heard mixed review of these in the past but thought id give them a try)

anyway, i want to get the brake fluid changed too - anybody have any reccomendations for which type to go for? Thinking of going for a higher boiling point fluid as i do, on occasion, go for a spirited run out

I have sprinted hill climbed and used a mini on test days. The bracks are worth up grading but I have to date never had a problem with the fluid. Spend the money on disks calipers etc.

will give an update once ive picked them up and got them fitted mate, no worries. ive currently got (whats left of!) redstuff ones on and ive found them to be very good. they did take a while to get upto temp, but once they were they had great bite. A particularly spirited run on the evo triangle a while back gave them a good test, and they passed. Be very interested myself as to how the yellowstuffs fare!
