1st of all 13" is NOT the same as 12.75".

12.75 rotors on whatever spec'd 4 piston calipers. Seems similar to the oem front brembo setup. Problem is if it IS similar, then putting these on might actually make your braking worse by changing the brake bias balance.

Yeah these are new but honestly, I'd pay a little more for an used oem front AND rear brembo set and actually get a well balanced brake system

That's not a factory Wilwood kit. Just pieced together, no R&D went into it, not worth it IMO.
