    Should be ok, but the width is the problem. GT2 6-pots are designed to be used with a 34mm disk, the same as the Cayenne. The S8 345mm disk is only 30mm thick, so keep an eye on you pad wear, as you wouldn't want much less than 2mm left before you change them. You don't want any of the pistons popping out.

          Was pretty tight on mine - had to shave down the pins, and this was without the dampening plates:

              996/Boxster S uses a 28mm disk, that's why.
