Well for only $495 you can toss some Alcon Type R's on the rear with 11" OE Rotors...
 
Turbo 5 offers this kit...I think it's really from Vortrag. Comes with Pagid pads as well...

How did you get a $1000 discount? Turbo five charges $1495 on their web site.

Sorry my bad I meant to say for only $495 MORE...again my bad comment still stands though

Well for $495 more you loose your parking brake, but...
 
you do gain 7mm (Assuming OEM 276mm disks) and better calipers and pads.

Really? I though the kit relocated the stock caliper...
 
from there on out it's used only for parking brake function? Is that one of the more expensive Alcon kit's I'm thinking of?

Straight from the turbo5 site:
Alcon R-Type 2-piston calipers, 11" OEM rotors $1495

So you do loose your parking brake. You can't use the stock A4 caliper on any rotor that's thicker than the stock 10mm one, which means you can't use it on any vented rotor.
