JCW Brembo brake kit- rear caliper different than S?
For the new JCW Brembo BBK from the factory, I know that the fronts are clearly different, but are the rear calipers included in the kit different than the calipers provided for the S from the factory? The rear calipers in the kit don't look like something Brembo would put out, but please enlighten me!

Thanks!

The calibers are just red, but the rotors are slightly larger. and the caliber brackets are different to fit the larger rotors.
