The 05+ front brakes are a substantial 0.9 inches bigger and the rears are 0.6inches bigger. Not only that, the 05+ brakes got thicker as well.
'05+ brakes
Front: 12.6-inch x 1.1-inch power-assisted vented disc
Rear: 12.1-inch x 0.63-inch power-assisted vented disc
'03-04' non-brembo brakes
Front: 11.7-inch X 0.9-inch power-assisted vented disc
Rear: 11.5-inch X 0.6-inch power-assisted vented disc
But I think you're right, most people just get the Brembos for the looks and have no intention of using it for it's true potential.

I'm looking to do the same swap. The feel and play in the stock calipers SUCKS! I need something that won't allow the rotors to warp as easily and will have more stable pad pressure on the rotor.

Too many pluses to ignore. I almost went the Racing Brake OE caliper route, but I finally found a Brembo setup.
I'm about to do the same w/ new SS lines while am at it. Do you need any additional parts if you have the rotors and calipers, ie brackets, clips, etc?
