Drivetrain R56 brakes = R53 JCW brakes?

ok, here are the pictures anyway...
as you can see from the last two pictures, the stock brake hose will not work, it has a 90deg fitting. the R56 caliper has the fitting on top. other than that, works great!

i disagree. I think the oem aero non drilled rotor is a better choice. Drilled rotor + track temps = cracked rotor.

Slightly OT. Can I assume that the late 2006/07/08 rear pads are the same as 2002/05??? I have an extra set of rear Carbotech #10's that I hope will fit on a new 2008. I have used the Ferodo DS2500's. Like the Carbotech better. Better initial grip and better fade resistance on a track with not much time for cool down between turns.

i'm planning on running these pads on the street so i am willing to sacrifice some performance. i picked the ds2500 because of the high coefficient of friction that stays stable over a large temperature range. what carbotech compound are you comparing the ds2500 to and can you run it on the street?

I should have finished that thought - I think it was late (or early!)
is backdating allowed? Does that open the door to anyone with a 2006 to add the same brakes? What about other years?
Strictly academic here, I already have a pulley - so it doesn't matter to me. I am just curious what would happen, esp. at a national level event.

Sonichris:
Carbotech 10's front and rear. I ran them through the winter and saw a few 10deg days. Good initial bite even at that temp. They do have some noise (not squeal) at light pressure and slow speeds (less than 5 mph). They wear well both on the street and track. There is no accelerated wear on pads or disks on the street when driven slowly.

Happy Christmas for those in the States.
Question for everyone else...
Has anyone driven and confirmed that the lug bolt size on the r53 does not need to be changed to suit the larger r56?
I am interested in the upgrade, but want to be sure that i'll work!
Cheers
