Hi would just like to ask if somebody can help me in completing this system. I have an r53 jcw caliper with carriers. Would just like to confirm if these are the things that i need.

1. Front rotors (please recommend whats the best front rotors for this one.) i think an r56 rotor can fit here.

2. Brakepads ( for daily/street use twisty roads) brakepads for r53 or r56 mcs!

3. Brake sensor ( do i need a nee one)

4. Ss lines ( is there a set where u can buy the r56 sslines in front and r53 in rear)

5.do i need bushings or whatever is that called

6. Do i need to buy any rebuild kits?

Thanks

 

Do a search and I think you will find answers; this subject has come up before.

 

We have several rotor options that are super affordable for you

You can reuse your old pad sensor as long as your light is not on.
As for lines we can put a set of our WMW ones together for $99 for you

 

We have some of the ECS Geomet Brake Rotors for the Gen 1 R50 R52 R53 JCW .

For the brake bushings inspect the JCW fronts, make sure they slide very easy.

Boot kits look like this:

Rears share the same caliper hardware as the R50 R52 R53 non JCW. Check them for wear and easy of movement.





Let me know what you want, we are here to help.

Now that's a reply ECSTuning.

 

Hi don't mean to hijack your post but I have a similar question. I have a 2004 JCW. how can I tell if it is has JCW brakes or just R53 brakes. the front rotors are 11 in diameter. Ive attached a couple pics. thanks for your help.

 

R53 JCW and R56 S brake rotors are 294 mm diameter.

I think its 279mm (11 inch) for R53 S (non-JCW).

R53 JCW calipers are red.

Looks like those are regular R53 calipers and rotors.

Look like the stock brakes. The JCW "Red" brakes were an upgraded option at that time.

The Stock rotor size for Gen 1 R50 r52 r53 fronts are 276x22 or about 10.86".




The JCW Rotor size for Gen 1 R50 R52 R53 fronst are 294x22 or about 11.57"
