JCW Brake Mods

Brakes
1) Would the Goodridge Stanless Steel Brake Line Kit for the R56 MSC fit my R53 MCS JCW GP? Since R56 has unpainted JCW in the front and same(R53)brakes in rear?

2) What upgraded brake pads for JCW brake exsist? Would there be fittment issues with pads for R56 on R53?

Pads for the R56 Mini Cooper S (and JCW) can be had from Carbotech in any of their pad compounds (street, autocross, track). Call Danny Puskar up at Carbotech.

The front pad backing plate is D1204 and the rear is D1309 for the R56 MCS.
