The disk size is dictated by the amount of clearance the caliper needs (how bulky it is).
You can get a 335mm disk to fit with std calipers I think that's the biggest with 17" wheels!

That's 335mm Godspeed behind a 17" wheel. As you can see it's bloody tight.

how much where they?
£500 on a group buy last year. I added Goodridge hoses £50 and good quality fluid £30
where did you get them?
www.godspeedbrakes.co.uk
what difference do they make?
Excellent. Two track days with no fade and brilliant retardation. Very little wear too.
