Theres a company in Blandford, Gti tuning I think? They do a brake upgrade which includes
340mm discs and Porsche four pots. Has anyone gone down this route, or more importantly, would anyone know if they fit with the standard GP wheels?

Sorry big Porsche fan, cant help myself!

Hi, not sure who has them fitted, but the company is called gt tuning (GTT)
They will only fit behind the GP wheels if you have huge spacers.

why?what for other than maybe the cool factor

Just the fact that red painted calipers dont quite hit the spot, where the rest of the car is so well finished. It's not like other manufacturers arent doing it! But massive braking asside, they do look pretty cool. Doesnt sound like theyll fit tho???

I would have thought the stopping power might come into it some where!

Besides whats wrong with being a cut above the others, if you have the cash... why not

Why not buy the new R56 Works BBK when released ?
Should fit the R53 like a glove with the right rims (read ET).
