R56 rotors installed
Put on the R56 rotors last night, it was an easy install and not that much money.

yes, but that's not the question I asked. He's got a GP...not sure if it uses 12mm or 14mm. If it's 12mm, the rotors are for 14mm.

GP's use the 14mm' but I changed to 14mm studs after needing spacers for the coilover's

So, what exactly is the reason for the swap? Did you put on the drilled/slotted R56 rotors? Or are the R56s just a less expensive maintenance replacement part than the GPs?

I put them on myself last weekend. I did it for the look and to help with brake fade.

So, the drilled and slotted ones, eh? Cool. Bet they look sharp, too.
