After a fair amount of research I decided that this looks like the best
option. It is a direct bolt on, No monkey business required! The GT3 6 Piston Monobloc
is not a direct line-up for our cars; something is slightly off with it ??

Besides the obvious financial bonus of running 18" competition tyres vs 19". Is there a down side to running lightweight 19's vs 18's. My only thinking is the 19's sidewall may actually be too tight? I'm looking for optimum performance in the end. The car will be driven mainly for race events so tyre wear isnt my biggest concern. Anyone perform timed laps with both or similar as a reference?

mitchmarket is infamous around these parts

I went with a set of larger 354mm rotors from perfect Power (www.perfectpower.com) using the stock calipers, cooling ducts and Pagid pads. I was able to outbrake any of the other turbos on the track. Note to claim that it is better than other setups, just that it performed with no fade and i could go deep in to the braking zone... My 2 cents.
