i have the caliper, brackets and rotors off the E0, they seem to be in good condition too. Or maybe i should just get E1 brackets and not convert them over? Curious as to what u guys think....
 
The E0 pad covers more of the rotor marginally increasing swept area so it could be argued that they provide better braking. From driving both cars, I don't believe the difference is significant.

The E1 (non SVT has a wider choice of pad availability.

If you had everything for both I would say flip a coin. Since you have a complete E0 package I would use it.

Thanks, I wasn't sure if there was an advantage(bigger brakes) or preference(wider choice of pads) over one or the other. I'll be installing the E0's then.
