Dear all,

I just got a set of 2012 R59 S calipers (Front & Rear). I believe it's the same as R56 brake system. Planned to swap them into my R53, but I have a few questions here. See if any members here may help give me answers.

Does all R56-R59 (Base or S models), do they all share the same brakes? because I'm looking for rotors to match the setup.
As far as I know, R56-59 model is the same as R53 JCW calipers, right?
Since its a budget upgrade, I'm wondering if anyone here got R1Concepts eLine rotors? They are in pretty good deal but are they reliable?

I did the research of all the parts required for the upgrade.
*Calipers
*Pads
*Rotors
*SS Brake Lines
*Brake Sensors
*Brake Fluids (How many bottles do I need?) I'm planning to get Motul DOT 4, and which specific one should I get?
(Any recommendations which brand is good)

Please, advise. and correct me if anything wrong or missing.

Thanks all.

 

The most important part you need is our conversion lines that fit the R56 caliper, but fit the R53 body so you don't have to cut or grind anything

But we have a kit with what you need as this is what we use in our shop.

for fluid you can do it with one bottle, but we always recommend two.

Otherwise you can use any of the R56 S pads and rotors with the R56S calipers to fit.
