The OEM shift ***** do not interchange between a 1st gen and 2nd gen car. I have even seen where there may be a difference between the 2002-2004 and 2004-2006 cars. I know this first hand, I had a CF JCW 2nd gen shift **** I tried putting on my 1st gen car and it did not work. I even had an adapter made that I thought would work but it did not. I am still trying to buy a 1st gen CF JCW shift ****.

R56S brakes are late (05-06) R53JCW brakes. I've done the swap using EBC Red Stuff and EBC rotors and love them. Do a search and you'll find days of reading on it.
