One more thing, and I'll leave you alone. The description on the Rotora site for this kit says you can use the OEM rotors with it. Would this be advisable, or would it be better to get new rotors?

Rotora Does have a listing for the Si ....just download the catalog (Website is out of date)

FRONT BBK
RBK.143.01 - FC4 CALIPER - 330X23MM 1 PC ROTOR
RBK.143.02 - FC4 CALIPER - 330X30MM 2 PC ROTOR
RBK.143.03 - FF4 CALIPER - 355X32MM 2 PC ROTOR

FRONT REPLACEMENT CALIPER - WORKS WITH OE ROTOR
RCK.143.01 - FM4-C CALIPER

I personally would replace the rotors with new ... why groove / damage the new pads with an old rotor. At teh very least get the old rotor resurfaced.
