Good to know they clear 17s! Makes them even more interesting. May have to buy myself a birthday present...
So those are the Macan rear or fronts, and you needed a +30 offset to clear the calipers?
ps they look awesome!
FYI Centric 143.62059 look to be the seal rebuild kit for the front base Macan calipers

These are the specs for the STI/EVO pads. I just measured my Hyundai Genesis 3.8 Track pads from Power Stop. The backing plate is 77.5mm tall vs 77.3 and the pad material is 60mm tall vs 55mm. So I''m hoping to get full coverage and not have that gap of rotor that isn't contacted near the hub.

Could the different dimensions just be specific to that particular Brembo pad? Power Stop and Centric both lists the same part numbers, Z26-1001 and 10X.10010, for both the Hyundai Genesis 3.8 Track and 2013 STI. Is this just size difference by manufacture?These are the specs for the STI/EVO pads. I just measured my Hyundai Genesis 3.8 Track pads from Power Stop.

Unless you are tracking id run the macan. The angled ends of the lower pad would be quieter when trackingWill the Macan spec pads better cover the Golf R rotor? Centric lists the taller and thicker model 16630 pads for the base Macan

Also id run the 345mm mk5/6 R rotors. Reason being i assume the pads would overhang on the 340mm rotors and over time a lip would develop on the pad and start making noise.
Can someone who has actually installed this setup confirm if there is slight overhang of the pads on our oem 340mm sized rotors?!

Yes I am tracking on road courses. My now damaged 986 Boxster Brembos saw 7 track weekends this year and the top loading design was key to making early morning pad changes almost enjoyable.
I specifically want the Macan calipers for the top loading design. 10% unswept inside area with the Power Stop pads is perfectly functional. I plan to run the same size pads for street and race compounds so I can reuse rotors. But if a full swept pad exists it would make this the perfect OEM+ mod
