Hi all I know that this as probably been covered before but the NAM search engine being what it is I tought I would ask anyhow.

I just got what I think a fairly good offer for a JCW BBK of a 2010 car that I could put under our old r53

both our stock rear calipers need to be rebuilt pads are gone on the rear, very little left on the front and all 4 rotor are rusted beyond sight.... so Everything will be changed.

I intended to go the R56 s because I had found a good deal on a almost complete kit (front pad and all 4 lines missing) but I just found a sweet deal for a really complete JCW BBK off a 2010 calipers f/r rotors f/r pads f/r and lines and sensor everything seems legit (only the front rotors are not crossed or drilled with I find strange) plus it as the e-brake wire, this kit is only 200 more than the other one

I seeing both kits tomorow what do you guys think is it worth the extra dough will I have issues (like with the master cylinder)

Let me know any thought or advice are welcomed

Doc

 

any input please....

 

If I remember correctly the rotors wouldn't be slotted or drilled if they're OEM, but don't quote me on that.
As far as other "after install" issues with running those, there really shouldn't be any, if you think you're getting a good deal I say go for it, you're better off with those over stock r53 stuff & if it's still not enough you can start by upgrading pads from there.

My only thought would be, since they're used, hope that all the pad positions & rotors were marked when they came off to limit as many re-break in issues.

 

Slotted and drilled are an option as I have them. Sorry, I quoted you

 

So if I read both post correctly Slot and drilled was an option (uprgrade) available for the JCW package over regular rotors (Witch would make sense eh why give anything right)

As for a deal I think 600$ for all four 2010 JCW BBK calipers/hose/rotors/pads plus e-brake cable is fair, no?

BTW thanks for your replies guys

 

Yes, upgrade. Yes, sounds like a good deal to me.

 

Yup, considering most decent BBK's start about $900

 

Well there bought, Except for some rock chips they are in perfect order (or so
they seem)

They guy that took them off didnt mark their position but the pads are still in the calipers and the lip on the rotors is around 1/32 of an inch all around, so I don't think i'tll be such a big issue.

Now I got to find new winter wheels

Except if you guys know if there a spacer out there that will let me run my x-lite....
