Any of those kits that use the stock calipers and move them outwards are a hack as the pad curvature is not going to match the curvature of the larger rotor. If you still want a BBK, the Stoptech 13" kit is good. I feel it's a bit of a waste for a street driven car, unless you want the "look" of it filling in the wheel better. But I'm all about function over form.
