R56 MCS Original Brakes

Hey,

I own a 2012 R56 MCS, and as far as I understand, the brakes on this car were either TRW or Brembo (Correct if i'm wrong, please!).

I am going to install new discs and pads soon, and would like to install a new set of the original brakes that came from factory.

How can I know which ones were in the original setup? Brembo or TRW?

Went over 10 pages of forum search, couldn't find the answer.

Thank you.

Forget the original pads/rotors

Call ECS Tuning, unless you like washing your wheels all the time. I installed the HAWK HPS (high performance street) pads. Love 'em!
