Well Rolands GTT ones aren't that bad to be honest. Couple of us have had them and they are probably as good as JCW since the JCW are still not that much bigger and same pot. Really otherwise your paying for the name and not a lot of gain in terms of brakes. Perhaps also consider some r56 calipers, they are the same as JCW in performance if not better by some accounts and offer a decent saving over JCW. 

New Banner coming soon!

I would avoid the JCW and go sone form of aftermarket. Even Rolands Spiroslots are probably better, work great on mine and Johns
