George Baxter is Running and selling a complete 4 pot set-up (With 11.75" 
Rotors in a 15" wheel.  When he put's on 16's he can go up to the 
12.75's) on the front of his UrQ. I know that the price is below $1500 
with everything.  I've never seen a Porsche app that would work without 
getting some new wheels with some massive offset.
