These are genuine 295mm JCW front brake calipers & disks (right & left). They make a big difference in the how fast the car stops! They are different from gen 2 calipers in the way the brake fluid hose connects (they use Gen 1 hose). I am only selling them because I have a set of 316mm 4-piston Brembo JCW calipers I'm installing on my car. I will post a picture soon. Genuine JCW R53 Calipers. You can tell because of the banjo bolt.
I will post pictures as soon as I take them off my car and get the new JCW Brembo calipers installed. But let me reiterate, these calipers are the Real McCoy!
Wait, are you sure they reuse the same lines? I always thought they used R56 front lines and R53 rear
I have the same caliper on my R53
I'm positive.
The Gen 1 JCW uses the R53 lines, which use a banjo bolt at the caliper; as opposed to R56 which uses a male flare fitting screwed directly into the caliper.
You probably have R56 calipers; it's known as the poor man's JCW conversion.
Just want pics to verify condition of paint/stickers and how much pad is left. Stock pads/rotors are expensive :(
Also, Sorry, not interested in selling the Willwood setup on my car at the moment. Interested in this setup since I would like to have
parts to return my car to stock if/when I sell it. It is the first one of my three cars that I would sell

No I have the R53 JCW, I read that it used R56 lines so I bought R56 front ss lines and R53 rears

I will second this statement. This is the easiest way to tell if you have period correct calipers.
Sorry it took so long, I've been VERY busy with other things. Anyway, here is a picture of the calipers. They bolt on to the stock knuckle, disks are the same as a Gen 2 car. They come with the braided steel lines. When I had them rebuilt a couple of years ago, they took the red off & painted them black.
It would be easy enough to repaint or powder coat them red. The JCW stickers are available too (but it wasn't very visible inside the wheel.)

I also have the JCW sway bars for sale in another post 24mm front/18mm rear.
