Have a look at what Plautus has done ... pretty extreme, but they are larger. (page 5 has pics)

I am running 312mm with ebc red and slotted rda rotors works freaking awesome, honestly I cant see a reason to go any bigger unless you are doing some really serious track work.

I'm on 312mm brakes as well with Textar pads, quite good for sunday drives and ocasional track days but need to upgrade to steel braided hoses. Then it'd be ideal.

Forgive my ignorance about brakes, but can someone explain to me if there is a benefit to bigger / better brakes if you don't break hard most of the time?

My thought was that if you can lock the breaks, then there would be no huge benefit to changing them. Heavy breaking and track work of course is a very different requirement...
