The front BBK are 4 piston calipers with 355x35mm rotors, I believe the 4.8is has 356mm rotors with a 2 piston caliper in front.
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.
