what i have heard ... physical size are the same, pads the same, but likely these are offered in different piston sizes.

There are several different types of Brembo calipers in the GT kits. Take a look at their website and you will see what I mean. I bought a set of Brembo calipers from a Audi S4 thinking they would work. They may have but I think you have to know what size rotor they go with and get the correct bracket for you car and the rotor. I tried getting a hold of someone at Brembo multiple times with no results so I just sold the calipers and bought some Rotoras that were made for the car. I know you can get some deals on Brembo calipers on Ebay, but after you buy the rotors and brackets it may end up costing you just as much as buying a pre-owned set of Rotors or Stop Techs that are made for your car. I am by no means a brake expert but went through what I think you are wanting to do.
