it depends what size wheels you have, if you're running 17's then 335 is your maximum, if 18's then the 355's will fit, although i have the 335's, and it's more than adequate for the abuse i throw at them, it's well worth getting better pads for the rear at the same time.......

you're right, he doesn't, the subaru 4 pots won't work with the discs that big, so the 335's are the best value for money imho.....

I have fitted some godspeed 335mm brakes 2 weeks ago to my MY 2000 P1. They are ok but I am now thinking of changing to AP. If you were interested I would sell on the Godspeed kit for £525 (cost £625) which has barely done 100 mls. with DS2500 pads. It is practically as new and can send photos if you want.Price to inc the 14mm tap set that you will need (cost £26)
