They do look good. The tolerances on the caliper may invite the occasional stone which will score the inner circumference of your wheel. Makes a right mess of the caliper paint too. Had it on two of my cars with PCCB and tolerances look similar.
Yep sorry to say this will score your wheel barrels :-( and still not a fan of the gyro effect on the added weight.
PCCB have way more tolerance than this looks like.

350mm for the win imo and bad advice from the race shop on two accounts.
You maybe right but I guess only time will tell, happy to be a guinea pig on this as the other options were simply too small, I can’t stand being able to see the rear parts of the suspension because the rear disc is so small!
Really doesn’t make these cars look the part, at least I know I’ll be able to out brake everyone else laugh

In fairness to Paul, he does live in Scotland, where it tends to be wee bit wetter and a wee bit windier than "Lockdown" Leicestershire ...

They should be fine, though I suspect you may find you need to get bigger discs on the back, as both the disc diameter and pad size has jumped massively on the front, and the front to rear bias will somewhat different now !!

Yep rears are on route! Just gotta find some time to fit, benefit is with trying bigger first is it’s easy to machine the backer to make small next time round

Good to hear smile
How big are the new rear discs ? Will they utilise the stock calipers or are you going upgraded AP's on the back too ?

AP rear also, believe it’s 370mm rear.
Be interesting to see as I was thinking 380/370 fronts and 360/350 rear to start with but it’s fairly easy to reduce if needed

If you're interested @Julian987R, I have the original umbrella with case which was supplied with my Cayman R when I bought it new. You don't accept DM so if you're interested, DM me otherwise I'm going to pop it on to eBay.
Hiya!
Amazing! I have sent you a DM. Superstar.
Best regards

You're right about it being a daft topic for a car forum at least wink
Sorry I know. I'm still learning the forum etiquette. Apologies to deviate the conversation.

Has any other R owners coming from an S experienced understeer at times related to the LSD?

I'm doubtful (I certainly didn't) as the standard fit LSD will be all but ineffectual once the car has been subjected to the factory's end of production line shakedown on the rolling road ... biggrin

https://www.planet-9.com/threads/the-cayman-factor...

So whilst on the face of it the factory (for which read the tossers in the marketing dept) smash made much of the fact the Cayman finally had a "911 equalling LSD", what they fitted was actually about as much use as chocolate tea pot rolleyes
