One is a NDL caliper on stock rotors (BAT) and the other is a FSL on a 13"x0.81" Coleman Rotor from TCE.
The latter (TCE) is the better of the 2 since from what I heard the BAT kit made for a long pedal (ie poorly chosen piston size for the master-cylnder).

yea and the TCE one costs pretty good also 
anywho you think the FSL one will have clearance issues with stock EO's since I do need them for winter?

No chance. Also these calipers have no dust seals so watch out if using them in the winter.

Goonz, this may have been covered somewhere else but why do you want to make the brakes bigger?
And I would talk to more people than one person if making up your mind about whether or not to get a product, any product.

The FSL will ABSOLUTELY NOT fit E0 wheels.

Best bang for the buck "big-brakes" kit for the CSVT is the FSVT kit - and I can get Titaniums for them also (in stock). The braking with the FSVT's is awesome.
THe BAER kit is nice, but the cost of the rotors is $$$$$ when it comes time to replace - that's my only beef.

A lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine!
