RWD Brake Kits for AWD?

Hi all:

Just curious if RWD brake kits would work without any issues on a AWD 2007 GS 350. I'm specifically looking at this kit: http://www.powerstop.com/product/pow...s=RWD%20Models (K4070) since I can save a couple of hundred $$ versus the AWD brake kit. Looking at the specs the dimensions do SLIGHTLY vary but I'm not sure if that could impact performance/installation. We're talking about differences of like 0.05mm in some cases according to spec sheets.

Also, anyone have any opinions on Power Stop?

I'm going to say no. There are different applications for a reason, especially the way the rotors sit around the caliper/hubs. When i was looking for a Big Brake kit for my 07 GS350 AWD, I couldn't use kits that were made for the RWDs.
Why chance it?

Fair enough. Thanks!

brakemotive on ebay has an AWD kit for significantly less and the rotors are powerstops, not sure about the pads. That being said the difference is the front rotors. I just ordered some for my car
