All it is is bigger rotors? How about the calipers or pads? I have 2 5.5gens one with bigger brakes (6g I believe) and I want to swap it over to the better one...

^^if one of your 5.5 gen allready has the 6th gen...well then you allready have the better ones. you should see a notable difference in braking between the two cars.
the caliper piston is larger, rotor is wider, pad surface contact is larger. This results in far linear braking than before for me; everyone that has this mod would agree that its their say "top three fav mod"

Are you guys using the Evo Brembo calipers?

I hear it's a nice fit with those bigger 6th gen rotors.

PM me for more info, so we don't derail this thread, but yes this requires brackets but works well w/ the A34 rotors.

Not getting derailed, just letting others know of the options available.

You can also get brackets made for those Brembo calipers from Fastbreaks.com but he would need the caliper and rotor to set it up properly. Then it's a bolt on kit after.

What you have is not a BBK at all its a big rotor to me, when you have big calipers then you allowed to say BBK.

Hmm I was mentioning the BIGGER Evo Brembo calipers with the BIGGER 6th gen rotors. That's basically a homemade BIGGER brake kit. You can call it whatever you want.
