Yes it is true.

 

OK, great! I can burn that cash up on some other great option. Many, many thanks.

 

per one authority, " All R56 Cooper S’ basically have the JCW brakes. They are identical in every way but color. The only thing that they don’t have is the cross-drilled rotors that are being sold under the JCW brand. However those would have limited benefits unless you are using your car for track purposes regularly."

buy some caliper paint if you want the bling

 

I'm getting one for $1,900 + 2 hours labor.

 

LazyT, Who is giving you that deal? Thanks.

 

For anyone that has the JCW tuning kit in their, what kind of MPG are you getting? I'm curious on how much this effects it.

 

29-30mpg, no highway driving, often spirited.

 

not sure if the JCW brakes are standard, yet what I think the dealer is trying to tell you is that they feel it's not a big difference between stock and JCW brakes. What your really paying for is the cool red coloring and JCW logo, not the performance you'll gain.

I think if you plan on auto-crossing your car brakes are really important, yet for street driving the standards are probably just fine.

 

The Brembo's that come standard on the JCW factory car will be available to everybody as an accessory soon.

 

Sweet. That's going to the top of the list. Thanks.

 

that's strange...i went and checked tonight and my 08 r56 jcw has the brembo brakes...i guess i got lucky...they stop the car really fast

 

really? -AWESOME! ..I have an '08 MCS on order... hopefully it'll come w/ Brembo's also?

are yours the classic red color?

 

its ture I have done 2 of these lits. Dealer installed only. The Parts are order
vin specif to your car. I install the parts,programm it with updated software
prepare just for your vin. You get Exhaust system,New Air Cleaner assembly
emblems and what not. And your Set. Its a big improvement. I think only
2008 JCW comes with OEM brembo not the normal S.


Good luck with your choices. "But Rem choose wisely.<indian jones the last crusade< dig that line.
