Interesting and thanks for the info. When I was doing my research I had heard while the calipers are the same, their mounting cradle is just at a slightly different offset, which in turn made the rotors at a slightly different offset, which meant you had to continue to use their rotors. Maybe they changed the design, or maybe it only applied to the 1g or the 2g kit, or maybe the info I read was incorrect (imagine that).

Either way, you end up with a setup nearly identical to the Baer kit, for almost half the cost.

Yep, and for those of us that are impatient they're likely available same day or sitting right on the shelf at any of the big name auto parts stores! Price, availability, and numerous options are what make this setup so great in my opinion.
