I'm not really thrilled with the rear brake upgrades im seeing available for the F56. Anyone know if the stock rear setup from an F54 All4 might bolt up to an F56? They aren't vented like I'd really like, but look beefier - not to mention nice and factory (ie. they'll look nice for a long time). The red painted JCW spec ones look pretty pricy, with calipers @ $350 apiece at the cheapest I've found, but it seems like would be a nice and cohesive upgrade. The electric parking brake might complicate things, but maybe the cable setup could be attached?

Ideally I'd just want a larger rotor with a bracket adapter like Tarox sells, but the rotor style that have there is...ehem...a bit gaudy. I also don't really want Wilwood stuff back there. I've had bad luck with their stuff on the corrosion front in Ohio winters. I'm not sure why the JCW doesn't get larger rears like the R56 setup. They look tiny, and perform the same.

Too bad there aren't more options in this space...


The discs in this kit look a little ridiculous (though I've asked if they have other styles) and the price is a bit $$:

I don't know how to go about even procuring this:

They're both 2-piece, which I could frankly care less about for the back. The rears are not heavy enough that that is really likely to be worthwhile.

Wish they could do something like this for the F56

Find a way to put in a bigger rotor and have a bracket that pushes the caliper back.

maybe Way would help us out

 

I think those are just the rear pieces of the JCW BBK for the R55/56 cars. If only such a thing already existed. I'm cool with the rear calipers, just not the size of the disk they're squeezing

Tarox responded that the kit they have comes in two styles, the sprilal style pictured there and a straight slot / drilled style.
