Greater stopping power for bigger discs ;) plus if you have 18's they will fill the wheel lol

Just remember you need to fit good pads

i like the idea of the 356 but was thinking if i ever did want to stick 17" alloys on i can't.Is there a lot of difference between the two sizes or it is they just look better with 18" alloys... i just cant make my f**king mind up ffs.. :( lol

Not fully true, so say they should fit under the team dynamics pro races that come on the mr..I would guess it would be a really close fit.

Depends if you want to spend the extra money on bigger discs, if it was me I would. Was thinking about k sports but managed to get alcons

Depends what you are going to with the car. The Brembo caliper are good if you change brake lines use good oil and pads.

8mr, 17 in alloys still fit over the 356, along with another x2 sets that i have ran previously on the 9, its as tight as a midgys knacker and you have to run your wheel weights on the inside but they do fit:razz: i have done many tracks days with 356's and 8mr alloys so its proven

18's are far better anyway IMO

You get increased torque by moving the brake friction area out from the centre of the wheel.
Imagine a spinning disc, it will take less effort to stop it spinning from the very outside point of the disc than what it does from the centre. :)
