Because most people haven't been in an R32 and then stomped on the brakes hard and then nearly had their head ripped off.
Adrian, those Porsche brakes must be pretty damn impressive, to upgrade from the R brakes.

Heh. Nah tis cool. Whilst I'm more than happy to maybe/hopefully add boost one day, I wouldn't trade or swap for it.

haha - My current brakes give up after about 3 decent corners so this is good news.

However, i'm thinking that my braking distance will probably be increased with the larger discs, they will just be able to stop reliably over and over again without going off.

Hmmm. If you do it make sure you get some before and after stopping distances.
I would've thought that with the greater surface area for the pads to grip onto plus with the bigger and stronger calipers that they'd pull up quicker for sure.
