So cooling; Kerscher etc addresses this in them a simple way; ventilated discs, and note; still using standard spaced-out calipers.

The weight bit is interesting; but then you also have to keep close attention to the rest of the setup; wheels, tires etc...
i have the same preferences as above. but with~150hp, 17" wheels and spirited driving require more effective brakes than the original ones. The main problem is the non-porsche pattern, and I'm looking for alternative solutions to find the best setup for 5x112 pcd.
