You do know you can't just fit bigger discs without taking the caliper into consideration, im guessing your 2 choices is part of a brake decision and not an idiots mistake of thinking you can fit bigger discs and away you go to any caliper.

And them discs are perfectly fine. Read the MK4 brake guide on brakes.

Ah yeah ok.

You can use 325mm with spacers on the carrier.

Problem is you need a 325mm disc with 5 x 100 PCD.

Only option with that is Custom bells/Discs i think.

Cupra R discs maybe an option at 323mm, less spacing on carrier.

Daveb does the lines for porsche calipers, he's your man for brakes ! He's on UK-MKIVS, dunno about here.

For hassles sake you could use 312mm Discs and some good compound pads - Ferodo ds2500's, EBC yellows. Disc size doesn't mean a massive thing.
