Can someone please tell me what is included in the JCW brake upgrade, discs? pads? calipers?

I think you get new front discs, front calipers (red) and a set of "upgraded" pads all round.

Thats whats included, and they're fab imo

Adds another 10 mins onto washing the car tho, keeping the callipers nice and shiny

Are the calipers actually uprated, or just replacements (maybe with a stiffening kit?)?

Different calipers (12% increase over stock) New front discs+pads,new rear uprated pads

the caliper is a 54mm Colette II mfg by TRW in Pontypool, GB. The calipers are plated and powder-coated after machining. I don't know who makes the rotor, didn't recognize any of the castig marks on mine.
