Front struts are 3.5", Carrera trailing arms are 3", turbo trailing arms are 3.5"

I would want a minimum of 930 f/r rotors, 304x32 floating fronts(non floating if strictly street and noise is an issue) 309x28 rears.

930 calipers are a bolt on front but need some involved machining rear(see VCIs site) cost will be close to $3k unless you can scare up a good set of used ones.

A little nicer alternative for roughly the same $ is the same rotors w/ 993 front calipers(using axial to radial adaptors) and 965 rear calipers(993 rears can also be used w/ some fitment issues that will need to be addressed)

Another $500 gets you full f/r 322mm Big Reds, a 2400# 300hp car is probably ok w/ the smaller 930 rotors for occasional track use but there is a lot to be said for the extra peace of mind the the 322s will give you.

Unless of course this is a race car where you need to abide by the rules(hard for me to believe but I hear that some actually don/t abide by the rules)

All of the above will want an ATE 23.8 mm non-boosted m/c w/ al front crossmember or a boosted ATE 930 23.8mm m/c like Jack used(lots more $$) but doable
