Moss High Performance brake kit

Does anyone have it? How are they?

I need to upgrade my brakes and this seems like the most bang for the buck

here they are.

The r56 brakes have a larger rotor and larger caliper from what i can tell. The r56 stock brakes are the same as the r53 JCW brake kit. Normally they sell for 200-300 for the front rotors/calipers/pads. The pad selection for the JCW kit/r56 brakes is very few. I am betting though that will change since its only the first year of the r56. From what people say the braking performance of the JCW brakes vs r53 OEM brakes is substantial.

I got lucky and got my front rotors, calipers, & pads for 50 bucks off ebay with 25 bucks shipping.
Thats a pretty good upgrade for the price i paid. I already have super blue fluid. I now just need SS lines and maybe new sensors.
Good thing the pads had less that 1000 miles on them.
