    No the fronts, the Rear on the R56 and 53 are not the same.

    Yes, that is all entirely true but according to FireBro the brakes he got are absolutely no upgrade from the factory R53 brakes! Even though I explained what you said exactly to him.

    You will need R56 Lines, I would suggest SS ones

    i just have a quick question for c0op3r.
    I noticed in your original post, you had on S-Lites. I'm upgrading to my break to Gen 1 JCW brake kit and i was wondering if the will fit my S-Lite rims or would i need spacers?
    Also, do i need anything else other than the calipers, rotors, and lines? (im going to get new pads)

    The S-Lites Fit with no issues, I currently have R90's and they also fit.
