I'm running Boxster calipers w/300mm rotors. Steve, what rotor did you settle on? Did you find a better option than the A8 one that has to be cut down? I know we discussed a few options a while back. My setup fits under the 8x15 Ronals, but not the 6x15 or Fuchs. I also run the 8x16 urS4 Fuchs, but I'm sure some 16s won't work. Offset and spoke clearance will be an issue with many wheels. 

These are great brakes, but if you want to really push the car on the track the thin rotors (25mm) might not be enough. They're OK for me, but I don't have the nerve to push my urq close to 10/10ths.
