I don't know what the STi option is; usually "pot" denotes a caliper, but you said it uses stock calipers?

Baer (GT Kit) - More affordable ($900) than the other BBKs. Single piece rotor but has high quality OEM C5 Corvette calipers! There's confusion as to the size of the rotor in this kit... some people claim is so big that it'll only fit under 18" rims! :shock:

The Baer page explains dimensions & calipers used. Up to and including the GT systems use one of the 2 PBR caliper variants; Pro & up use Alcon 4 or 6 piston calipers
