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 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.
