Default 996turbo pfc 08s all round or 11s in rear?

I have a stock 996turbo and am going to put track pads on. I am an advanced driver (PCA instructor). I am ordering PFC 08s for the front and wonder if I should go 08s all around or run the 11s in the rear? let me know what you think.

I ran 08s all around and have tried several other setups. 08s worked the best for me, but honestly always fought heat issues. You really need bigger front brakes and 6pots. I've never had issues with my GT3 on same pads but with larger rotors and 6-pots up front.

I ran 08s front and 11s on the rear on my C2 and liked the balance on tighter tracks, though I recognize that it's not quite the same as the Turbo. It was just enough extra grab at the rear to help rotate the car in medium-low speed corners without it getting out of hand on faster ones (not that there are that many fast ones out here).

Danny, are you going to be at the charity event in June? I'll be there that weekend with the E30.
