F56 Big brake kit retrofit

For those who don't have the JCW brakes, has anyone found any brackets that we can use to retrofit other brakes? For example on my brother's GTI he has a bracket that lets him use Porsche calipers. It would be cheaper finding a used set of calipers than paying almost $2000 for the JCW set.

I'm not sure on the answer to your question. But you can get the JCW kit from Way Motor Works for $1600. Still spendy, but a bit less than $2K.

I spent $1350 before tax at my local dealer and installed them myself, had my 30,000 mile check up the next week, and the dealer bleaded my brakes for me for free. Couldn't have planned it better.

The JCW brakes are a huge upgrade, i dont know of a bracket out there yet.

As you can see from the pics of the kit 34112352872, since the front bolt to the factory carrier, you just need to measure and can make your own from the factory brakes and then add on your caliper, it would be a lot of work and then finding the correct size rotor.

There are some brembo GT kist on the market also. You that as a guide to side maybe.
