Product description
The retrofit kit for the sporty 17 inch JCW brake system is suitable for the F56 and F57. The front axle brake consists of a 4-piston fixed calliper in chilled red with John Cooper Works branding and an internally ventilated, perforated brake disc. The rear axle brake consists of a 1-piston floating calliper in chilled red with a full disc. For retrofitting, this set is suitable for all F56 vehicles except JCW. The perforated brake discs for the front axle are offered exclusively as special accessories, but can also be retrofitted to JCW vehicles with the standard 17-inch JCW brake system.

Technical information
- Front axle: 4-piston fixed caliper, brake disc 335x30mm (internally ventilated, perforated and grooved).
- Rear axle: 1-piston floating caliper, brake disc 259x10mm.
Note:
- Only in conjunction with JCW wheel arch extensions on the front and rear axles. See ETK.
- Only in conjunction with specially approved 17-inch and 18-inch light alloy wheels. See ETK.
- Due to the special design features of the perforated and grooved brake discs, functional noises can occur when braking, but these have no effect on the stability of the brake discs. The JCW sport brake is included in the vehicle EG-BE (E-mark). Nevertheless, national approval and changes to the vehicle documents are always required, as the braking system changes in the data relevant to the approval.
Security advice:
The DSC coding must be adapted to the JCW sport brake.
The vehicle must be carefully run in for the first 200 km after the sports brake has been installed; the sports brake is only then fully effective.
