JohnS had big red porsche calipers (330mm discs to IIRC) on the front of his coupe, but he also used an alfa hub conversion
Obviously you'll need bigger wheels too for over 305mm discs.
JohnS sold his coupe bits though, so I'm unsure who owns them now

I'm sure your right do but I was comparing to 996 GT3 cup cars and they run a very similar 4 pot
these calipers are shared
Alfa GTA 156 Mitsi evo 8 and 9 Subaru wrx sti (some versions)
Also sparco runs these brakes in his time attack coupe and I don't think he is short on brakes
As for cost, they are not cheap though, and radial mount but with the right braket from Alfa will bolt up to a 20vt front hub I believe

Just a point worth notong on the whole i need 16 pot brakes and 4m brake discs. YOu don't and you will be surprised at the performance of a good caliper, disc, pad and brain combo will do. Anyone that knows me knows i'm relatively hard and late in the braking department and i have yet to have fade or a moment with these 4 pots and 330mm discs, coupled with Pagid yellow pads.

My setup was 340x35mm using Porsche 996 twin turbo calipers. With the adapters I had I could have gone 6 pot with a 996 GT3 Mk2 disc (350mm) as a bolt on more or less. Mine fit under 17s just except some 2/3 piece design wheels. I would go for monobloc calipers (one piece) if you can, although the GTA ones (not monobloc) with the 330x32mm disc are very good (and probably good enough that it isn't worth the price differential for what I had). There is some mix and match possible as the GTA brembo adapters also fit Porsche boxster S front calipers (I have some lying around) Likewise the adapters fit a Ferrari 360 caliper if you use a 28mm disc
