I just did this yesterday. Looks awesome (rusty look finally gone), performs as I had expected. No issues at all on my xS. If you have aftermarket wheels, just be sure that you have enough clearance. If you have the stock xS 18"s, they will clear the calipers. I went with StopTech drilled rotors, pads and the Technafit SS lines. I highly recommend concept z performance. I bought everything from them, except for the calipers which I already had. They ship very quickly and package your items very well.

Nice and any issues with the front installation?
I don't understand what the dealer meant about the spindle. .

No issues at all. It's more or less a direct bolt on. For the front, I bent the dust shields back and everything cleared perfectly with no rubbing. For the rear, I cut the dust shields with a hacksaw
. Everything worked out. Between my Hotchkis sways and the BBK, I can finally feel like i'm apart of the "S" club, rather than the "sport appearance" club 
. Stock suspension for now, though - however with the dismal roads and winters here, it may have to remain that way 
Let us know how it works out for you

Interesting thanks. Since these calipers are big, on the RWD, G are these missing/ not installed on the G?
Going for a another quote, I printed a list from concept z performance.

Forgot to mention I went with the Stop Tech BBK.
For some reason I think it's front only, based on the price of the kit and what I see on the Internet. I'll need to clarify that tomorrow.
Any pics of Gs with this set up?
