    Sounds like the 302's are winner. I was just thinking the other day that my rear brakes look decidedly weedy beneath my open spoked wheels and compared to the 996's up front.

          314mm grooved discs with black anti-rust coating to match the fronts So that's 314mm front and rear Should look good behind the wheels, fit under teh 16s and even up the braking somewhat. Perhaps a bit of overkill but still using the OE calipers, so I don't foresee any issues.

            I'm looking for someone to test the 302 option.

              I will test it out for you. I've got 314mm 996s up front.

                      If martin can't for whatever reason, i'd be happy to test out the 302mm option too.

                        As you're local, it may be easier to do that TBH, then I can troubleshot any issues. I'll be in touch when I know about brackets.
