Haha I remember when I had to bed in my AP's. Took a while to get used to what felt like there was no brakes at all

Love your R53 S, Looks the muts

Pics later today, if the weather holds out.;)

With the upgrade you get new painted red front callipers with JCW logo, new front discs and new pads all round.:cool:

Already they feel more responsive and firmer. Should have them bed in by the end of today so can let loose a bit more, having to be careful just now so it's holding my driving back somewhat.:rolleyes:

Very nice. :cool:


Mind me asking what they charged for it all? I presume you were needing to replace the discs and pads anyway?

Just remember the R56 S's come with the same brakes etc as the JCW upgrade kit for the original ones. The JCW brake upgrade kit for the R56 gives you painted calipers and grooved discs. Not sure you'd notice that much of a differerence in performance.

The red brakes do look lovely though..
