I really don't need 380mm. I was just wondering about base vs S.

Reason for wondering is that I used to own a BMW E36 325i and had a number of stops from a bit above 120 MPH to a stop. They held it, but I could smell the brakes and the Discs colored into a nice blue / purple. That car is of similar power to my 986 base and similar weight. It runs on slightly smaller discs.

So with a lot more speed potential coming I was wondering. I would think disc wise (basically just the heat capacity == weight) they would be too small. But that doesn't factor in how well they cool (compared to the E36).
