R56 fronts is all you need. Maybe some decent carbotech pads to go with them.

As above, you can always get robin to paint them if you want them in a fancy colour or something...

Not heard of that company before. Although Im tempted by some JCW Brembos (purely for looks ) my brakes still have over 20k miles left in them - the key stores this data together with a load of other info that I didnt realise such as my average weekly mileage - but will be going for some decent pads and the 'sports kit' discs when it does come to replacement time... although 20k miles of use is over 2 years so I may never get there before I sell the car...

What's needed to fit them? Will just the callapers be enough?

Then get some disks

Calipers, larger disks and some pads. You will also need braided brake lines.

Make sure they have the carriers too as some sneaky buggers try to sell without them...

Guys I have found someone on mini torque selling 3k old r53 brembos but they want 450 for them just wondering if that is a good price or would I be better getting R56 normals

I'd just go for r56 standards tbh... With the Brembos you have to check rim offset etc as only certain rims fit over them...

I thought they where the same calipers every days a school day lol with the gp rims would I be wrong to think I have enough room behind them

R53 Brembos are the same as the R56 standard calipers
