Dave Check with Clark at apexperformance. Great pricing, and super easy to deal with. Thats where I got my setup. No need for me to go anywhere else.

Dave, if you have the 6 piston calipers with 350mm rotors, 0991 is the pad. For the stock 4 piston OEM calipers it's the 7818. I thought you had upgraded to the 350 brakes

no, same red calipers, but 350mm rotor upgrade. Ok, I will stay with the 7818 set. Can 380mm rotors be fitted on the 6 turbo? I run 19" wheels.

Yes, 380s can be fitted and will work with 19s. I run 380s with 18s, there are a hand full of 18s that work. Unless you track your car heavily, 380s will bring you no benefit, actually a detriment in the form of added I sprung mass..

380 mm front is what the cup cars run, correct? What about rears? Need to bump up a size or will stock size work adequately?

The 380 set up consists of 380 fronts and 350 rears Dave. To preserve correct bias, you will need the correct 380 front calipers and 350 rear calipers. The master cylinder used with the 380 set up is larger and generally not compatible with PSM.

BUMP. Apex is out of PFC 7818.08 front pads. i really enjoy the 08 front and 11 rear combination with the 350 slotted rotors. The brakes stay super cool too on tracks like Road America with our Cal*Cool radiators and sufficient ducting.
Anybody have any suggestions on where to get the PFC 7818.08 front pads??
