It's immediately obvious when you have them next to each other. It's like comparing Brembo GT to PP calipers. At first glance they may seem the same, since the same rotors and pads are used, but when they're next to each other, the difference is immediate, even to the untrained eye.
I located a dealer in California who had the fronts on the shelf. Unfortunately, they were in a plain cardboard box so I couldn't compare to the boxes I received. The fronts I received had blue plastic cling wrap on them and the coating/cross hatching looked nice

The brakes feel great to me but I am very much a novice when it comes to performance oriented braking. Only have a couple HPDE's under my belt in other cars and none with this platform.

All I have to go by is the OEM part numbers that I plugged into Brembo's site search bar and what I ended up seeing. I was not able to compare the two side by side obviously.
