    I was going to say I got my calibers here: Car Parts.com

    Teddy, when you get the parts together for the brakes, come up here and I'll help you put them on. I did mine in about 3 hours.

    If you get Paul's JCW brakes, calipers and bracket, you'll need bigger rotors. The R56 calipers needed new brake lines I don't know about the JCW ones.
    You can get R56 pads. I like Akebono pads. Got a good deal on Amazon.
    Also a jug of ATE brake fluid.

    My front calipers come with Red stuff pads and OE lines. Just need rotors.
