: Retrofitting the R56 JCW Brakes

Hi all,
First of all, an apology, as this has probably been covered before, I just can't find it though.

I am looking as buying a set of the R56 JCW brakes, to be put on my R53 'S' (non JCW) and need some info.

I understand that the front is a direct bolt on replacement, but the rear requires some work to be done to make them fit. Is this true, and if so, what work needs to be done?

Are all the hoses/mounts/fittings the same?

Will they fit under the 17" S-Spokes?

And if I buy these brakes, is it just the calipers, discs and pads I will need or are there any extra bits and pieces to be bought?

Any help is greatly appreciated,
MINImate :smile:
