I was upgrading my 3.0i brakes and was planning on going with the 4.8is brakes, but if buying new/used parts, the Stoptech BBK came out to less with the clearance sale.

The rear kit I am looking at has the same size rotor at 355mm, but the rear has a two piston caliper instead of the 1 piston found on all E53's.
