JCW 4-pots fitting onto a GP - advice please

[yaphetlives]

okey dokey, i have just acquired a full set of JCW 4-pot brembos for my GP. i have afew questions regarding them;

firstly, i understand that i need 5mm spacers so the brakes will clear the alloys. can anyone recommend any spacer suppliers? i have seen these on ebay for approx £15-
5mm BMW Mini Alloy Wheel Spacers 3mm/5mm New Mini on eBay, also, Wheel Spacers, Car Wheels, Tyres Trims, Vehicle Parts Accessories (end time 23-Jun-09 09:54:21 BST)
has anyone used these particular ones?

secondly, can the r56 goodridge hoses be used on the GP front and back with the JCW 4-pots?

thirdly, are there any other specific requirements/components that these brakes require me to either purchase or acquire for the installation?

and finally...
how freakin sexy are they? i mean... c'mon!!!!! giggidy gooooo!!

many thanks to anyone that can help!

Dont buy those spacers. You need hubcentric ones if you do buy those you may get a wheel wobble. you will need to get eibach 5mm pro spacers from lohen or another supplier.

The R56 hoses can be used yes but the rear trailing arm needs modifying for these to fit you have to cut a small section out other than that its not to bad to fit.

As the OP has a GP with Ali rear trailing arms the same as the R56 --- there is no need to do any modifiaction to the rear trailing arms

I have posted more details in a the same thread on a Totaly different Mini site as I have done this to GP #0881

scottyboy, are you sure that's the case with 5/6mm spacers, as ive just checked GTTs ones out and theirs are flat at that size, it seems they use the hubcentric style for 12mm and above?! - http://www.mini2.com/forum/gt-tuning...5-19-22mm.html

I think your right i thought the Eibach ones came with the hubcentric part on there.

Ive had 10mm ones that where flat and i had a horrible wheel wobble aslong as there is some hub for the wheel to sit on and center itself it should be fine.
