+1. I was hoping there was a distinct extra bolt or something that distinguishes it from the St40. The basic caliper body looks exactly the same.

Just an FYI, we haven't seen any orders come thorugh for that kit so you may want to check with the shop you ordered through to make sure they let us know that we need to make some parts for you.

You have to grind down the rear oem bracket to fit the Stoptech bracket on top. Something I wasn't expecting and if you don't have a electric grinder, this part could take a couple hours.
