Rotors for 4.8is

Hey ya'll!
Just a quick question...are the brake rotors the same for all X5s?? How about brake lines?? If I had to guess they should be the same I checked realoem.com for part numbers on oem rotors and above 02 they are the same.
Since I don't off road my truck much, I'm looking into getting a set of drilled/slotted rotors for my ride, any suggestions???
help is much appreciated

Fronts are larger, rears are the same as other models I think.....

I have had discussions with after market suppliers who claim (eg Brembo) rotor pad combo will match / improve performance of OEM..... even though the new rotors are smaller in diameter.

I just waited until better pads came out for the 4.8 and have them on order now.
