Thanks for the response, Gixxerboy. Since the set imsello bought includes the rotors that shouldn't be an issue if I have 20" wheels, correct? So I'd have to buy 4.6 calipers in addition but would that make it work?

Why not just buy the ones for your car and not worry about the calipers?

Thanks for the 4.4 link, Mike. One reason is that the 4.6 brake pads are ceramic. Another is that, AFAIK, the rotors/pads are larger and will provide better braking performance.
