HI Craig
Please excuse the what are probably very odvious questions.
If I just change the front stock 330 to the 350 Giro Disk
Will the break balance stay the same?
Will I be able to use the existing calipers?
Will the feel of the brakes still be theres as they currently are?

If I change the front stock 330 to 350 Giro and rear stock 330 to 350 Giro
Will that give less fading and longer lasting than just changing the front disks?
Will the break balance stay the same?
Will I be able to use the existing calipers?
Will the feel of the brakes still be theres as they currently are?

Will these squeel?
What pad should I use?

I should also mention that this is not my DD so all the driving is done in the hills on sunday mornings and then the 3 track days a year.

Cheers in advance

Will the break balance stay the same? YES
Will I be able to use the existing calipers? YOU BET!
Will the feel of the brakes still be theres as they currently are? REDUCED FLUID BOILING ON TRACK WHICH RESULTS IN A FIRMER PEDAL, BUT YES ON STREET

If I change the front stock 330 to 350 Giro and rear stock 330 to 350 Giro
Will that give less fading and longer lasting than just changing the front disks? FRONTS REQUIRED, REARS NOT AS MUCH
Will the break balance stay the same? YES
Will I be able to use the existing calipers? SEE ABOVE :-)
Will the feel of the brakes still be theres as they currently are? YEP

Will these squeel? OEM PADS? Pads cause the squealing -
What pad should I use? OEM street, PAGID YELLOWS or Yellows/Blacks track

100% - an aluminum bell center section exists for the parking brake. These rotors can make a big difference for track days -

I ran the Giros on the front only last year and discovered the following:

If you have a spare tire, such as in my 2001tt it won't fit over the 350s.
For the street the stock pads are great.
On the track I tried Pagid 19 Yellow Front on Giros and Yellow Rear on stock rear discs and experienced a wiggle from the rear under hard breaking. Switched to Black in the rear with the stock rotors and the problem solved, everything works great no wiggle, now wear is an issue on the stock rotors from the blacks. Not to mention they squeal like a Banshee.

I am debating whether to runt the Giro/Stock disc and Yellow/Black set up again or change to rear Giros and run the yellows. Basically I will lose the ability to put the spare on the rear, whereas now at least I can use it there.

Not sure if the spare is part of the safety system for a front crash since newer cars don't use the spare.

That wiggle is WEIRD ... as the Blacks have much higher friction and would be the ones to introduce a wiggle -
