wut? no. Well. Sortof. You only need SVT calipers if you use pads for a E0 SVT, which were only the early 98 models. All later SVT's used the same caliper as all contou'rs, but used a larger caliper bracket to push the caliper out over the larger rotor.
SVT 98.5 - 00's = same pads, same calipers as non-SVT's, but larger rotors and larger caliper bracket.
SVT 98's = different pads, different calipers, larger rotors, and the larger caliper bracket than non-SVT's.
Get your pads and rotors form Stazi, you won't be disappointed as you would be with inferior pads!
Worse case, get the parts from Stazi, and take the parts to a shop for the install if you dont feel up to it. Shouldn't take them more than an hour for the fronts (which is normall what, $50?)
Really though, brakes are fairly easy. Besides the lug nuts, theres only like 4 bolts to remove (two are the caliper slide pins, and two hold the caliper bracket to the knuckle). You'll need to know that all 4 bolts use either a torx or hex kind of head (can't remember off hand, but pretty sure it was a torx47?)
