yes. more of an OEM-sized replacement with slightly better parts than a real upgrade,
but then my stock rotors and pads were about due for replacement. So I just went with those. I wasn't interested in all the big stuff or the A8 brakes, although that's what everyone kept saying I "had" to do.

Just make sure...
to break the pads in, and I would probably try out the sanding the edges of the pads trick. I get squeeks at very low speeds at a very specific pressure on the brakes (at least in the beginning...I haven't really gotten it so far this winter).
Supposedly chamfering the edges of the pads helps. Personally I think I probably got the pads glazed a little by not breaking them in fully, and A LOT of city driving.
This setup kicks major butt over OEM. Makes you always want to outbrake everyone else and feel the G's.
