enrikito, your car is hot. Love the BBK/Wheel combo. Blackout headlights and fogs are nice too.

just trying to get this straight:
is-f:
pros - monobloc, 14.2 in rotors up front, brembos, $3800 when on sale
cons - not 2-piece rotors

F-sport:
pros - "Normal, OEM upgrade" (trivial, i know), two piece rotors, stoptechs
cons- $4400

anything Im missing here? Im trying to decide between the two, just based on which one is best. Ill be getting these with 19" F-Sport wheels, so no clearance issues.

I'm leaning towards the f-sports...but i like the fact that the is-fs are brembo monoblocs...but don't like that they arent compatible with two piece rotors..

help..

I'd go with the F-Sports. You'll get a true floating rotor, you'll have the option down the road to pick whether you want drilled or slotted friction rings, and you'll get an application that's designed specifically for your car. I wouldn't worry too much about the StopTechs not being a monoblock caliper - all the testing has shown their calipers to be as stiff as (and in some cases stiffer than) several competitors who advertise monoblock calipers.
