THE Cooper has disc brakes fitted to all four wheels as standard. The ventilated discs up front measure 276 x 22mm while those at the rear are 259mm x 10mm. Braking assistance is provided by ABS incorporating Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) and Cornering Brake Control (CBC). EBD controls the distribution of braking force between the front and rear wheels, which is designed to allow optimum use of brake capacity in corners without causing instability.
