They are a direct swap but the Pads are a little thinner due to the rotor's thickness so you would..

have to get the pads for the 3.0 as well.

Here's mine

It's not "bling' I'm after, just a balanced look.

But yes, I'll most likely get rear rotors to match, plus pads & SS lines.

Yes.

According to Michael at Ikno Motorsports, all three Carbotech pads are available for the Stoptech BBK.

My picks;

Carbotech Bobcat
Pagid Sport Blue
Porterfield R4S

I know I'll be more satisfied with them. I'm just sorting out all the details before I go getting another BBK.

That's all I have at the moment; word of mouth.

My picks would be;

Carbotech Bobcat
Pagid Sport Blue
Porterfield R4S

The Bobcat sounds the best overall for my "street" app; very good performance, quiet and low dust.

Talked to PureMS...

and they can get teh Carbotech Bobcats for the Stoptech ST-40 calipers. Only the Panthers are listed on their website right now though so you would have to e-mail them. They said it takes about 5 days for them to get it from Carbotech.
