Actually I believe that the front rotors are 322mm Scott. Check out the link to the Pelican site posted above. I use that as a guide often.

Has anybody successfully adapted the rear Big Reds, to the rear of their 951?

I asked that same question back on page 1 of this thread. Apparently you can although it may depend on your year model.

Default I did

I did. End up buying original rear 964 red calipers to match the big reds in front. Much better braking balance. Used to get loose at the rear under hard braking at the track with the 928s4 fronts installed inthe rear. See photo.I will post a photoof the original set up later. The 993 twin turbo rears are even worst as the pistons are bigger even though the physical size of the caliper is the same. I added a photo of the engine bay.

Welcome and nice first post. Some more info on that beautiful 968 would be excellent. At first I thought it was boostfeens until I saw the 16V head...Nice car!

+3. Love to know what you've got going under there? I guess the rears would be dictated by how large the front brake setup is too though and what ratio the bias valves are?

The 964 rear red calipers are physically the same size as the 944/968, but with bigger pistons. 964 pistons are 34/30: 944/968 are 30/28. So without changing the brake bias valve, you are increasing the rear brake bias.
