The main problem is the body of the new 6 piston caliper is much bigger than the standard 6 piston Porsche caliper.

one of my friend is sending me a turbo wheel. he told me that the 2pc wheels that i have are different and that the turbo wheels have more clearences. so im keeping my fingers crossed because then i have no choice but to thake them out again! and just wait untill my 19s come in!

WITH YOUR FACTORY WHEELS, What wheels are you planning on using ??"
Thanks for your quick and accurate response, Sharkey!
This then becomes not a $4000 decision, but an $8000 one

I run the OEM Porche 6-piston 14" GT3 setup up front on my car. Fits perfectly behind my 18" BBS wheels and only costs $2,600.00:
