[QUOTE="yotah1, post: 162150, member: 599"] The APs are 300x27mm. One thing people keep forgetting : bigger brakes offer better braking power, but if you stick with standard tires, you can have all the braking power you want, if you go beyond the grip capacity of the tire, it's pointless you won't brake better than stock. It will look better on the car yes, but if I'm honest, I really couldn't care less if that was the only reason for me to drop more than 1000€ in the car. I only get the benefit of the 4 pot calipers on bigger discs when I'm running semi slicks, as the road tires, even though they're good, just can't really handle the extra braking power... I agree that the stock discs look a bit small (the caliper being a floating one doesn't help, as imo the 280mm discs are already big enough when you look at them), but really, 1000€, I'd think about it twice. I needed it for track use, and only because I'm a very late and very hard braker. [/QUOTE]
