Porsche 996 fronts can be used on the 312mm or 323mm discs depending on carrier choice.

I think they need custom pads, couldn't tell you where to get them from though. Also please look into this mod as the rears have nearly the same part number of the fronts but less braking force than the standard VW setup!

996 fronts / 996 turbo rears

the part numbers for these are 996.351.425 & 996.351.426 (996 fronts) or 996.352.425 & 996.352.426 (996 turbo rears)
piston sizes for the 996 turbo rears are 28mm and 30mm, and these use a slightly larger pad then the rest of the porsche rear calipers.
piston sizes for the 996 fronts are .................
these require a 28mm disc, there is a 330mm disc available which is much taller than the 312mm or 325mm disc and means theres less chance of needing a spacer to clear the caliperss

for the bigger calipers 429&430 and 431+432 then you need a 34mm discs.
