Anybody else having a hell of a time finding this thread? It doesn't seem to show up in the sub forum and searching Macan doesn't work either.
In any case, these brakes are awesome. After they were installed the pedal felt odd. The first few inches didn't apply much/any braking which was unnerving. Made the VCDS/OBD11 changes, drove it around more. It started to feel like every other pedal press was normal. By the time I got to the track day the brakes felt normal, and much more linear than the stock R brakes. Did four 20 min sessions on them at Buttonwillow last Friday, CW13 and had a best of 2:09. No brake fade, tons of brake power. The PowerStop track day pads are a dusty mess but they seem to work just fine!
Swapped to the Z26 pads for street us, super easy swap with these calipers. I did notice that not all of my dust seals were staying in place which is a bit concerning. It's possible the RB seals are just a bit undersized, hopefully that doesn't cause problems down the road.
For reference, the wheels I run on the track are:
TSW Bathurst 17x9 ET 50 (w/ 10mm spacers) and I've got good barrel clearance (as long as weights aren't right on the drop center) and clearance on the spokes. I could probably run only a 5mm spacer and still be good there but it'd be close.

My Street wheels are Motegi MR147 18x8.5 ET 42 (w/ 5mm spacers) no barrel concerns and spoke clearance is good as well. 5mm spacer isn't needed for the brakes.
