Saw these. Contemplated getting them, but a few people said they aren't that great for track days. Figured someone here would love them so I am passing along the awesome price.

? The carriers for the rear calipers are there, and the retaining plates for the fronts are also there. Unless you mean the carriers for the fronts, which a Monoblock caliper doesn't use.

I saw these earlier and did some quick research. They should fit an r53 as long as you use R56 brake lines (looks like it comes with them) and do some modification to allow for the parking brake cable to connect properly. Obviously, you would also need the correct size front rotors.

I found that race pads are not very plentiful for the front calipers so you can't be picky on your pad choice.

Several people mention the boots begin to melt under high heat stress, including one guy who says he ran them for 4 track days. They're better suited for street applications. If you don't believe me, believe the guy that supplies thousands of people with braking components and has an impeccable history.

Older JCW (Current R56S brakes) are much better at track condition
There are several cases where R56 JCW brakes could not hold the stress and required rebuilds
