Jcw brakes on r53

[mini_119]

Hi guys
I have seen them fitted to a r53. It came in work but was a waiting job and wasn't my job so didn't get a good look. Is it a straight forward swop ?

Depends what type of JCW brakes they were!

I have the JCW brake upgrade on my R53 JCW which consists of monoblock calipers with a larger 294mm disc. I have only recently learnt this myself!

The later R56 models came with a 4pot Brembo upgrade but I don't know how much work it is to make those fit onto an R53 if that's what you are asking.

R56 brembo's fit straight on the front of an R53, as long as you've got the correct offset on your wheels
