I guess I'll grab the eibachs. They seem more readily available than the B&G.

Anti seize will be going all over the bolts when I finally find the spindle. And sadly, I've already got the rotors/pads for the D2 brakes... although that's getting added to the list of eventual mods, right after bi-xenons!
