the rears were upgraded a couple of years ago, from 330 to 350's, never had any issues... car stiffer, larger front tyres (tires... lol) so should be ok!

So your rears are larger than my fronts?

I don't think I can get larger brakes on mine due to the 3 piece wheels
Not sure if it's really worth it on a road car though?

Looks great, where is the valve stem? If it is in the barrel does it clear the caliper and do you have an easy way to adjust tire pressure?

Stop posting pictures....I feel a little more inadequate each time I see another picture of your car

I bet the handling is amazing?
Mine must corner like a boat compared to yours

What intake piping are you using?

Custom made intake Plenum from the original unit... where your fuel filter is this area is a bit restrictive... what they have done is run a smaller, better filter and widened this area, looks fantastic, 75mm hose all the way to the Turbos.

Good work! I'll have to get details from you about those pipes one day

I've been looking into upgrading my brakes whilst keeping my current alloys
Think I'll end up doing pads, fluild and lines

Do the GT3 calipers use different discs?

Would love to see your car if ever you're near my neck of the woods

ant_8u what size and offset are your split rims ? I tryed a stock twist wheel over my 380's and it went on but had less than a mill clearance and would of hit on the balance weights.
