Hi, ALL!

I know... I know... There are a LOT OF topics like this, I've already read sevaral things ..and "How to do it" topics,
but I ask you to be patient with me..and dont delete this topic.
Its important for me!

I write it why:

I know, there are several ---different variations how can I make this big brake project on my 2gen DSM, ..and this is why I'm here: ASK !

What I have:
2G EDM DSM , basically it came out with a poor 256mm discs, I've already upraded to the dual pistons calipers and with the 276mm discs. At this moment, its on the car.
but its not enough, I want make it bigger,
so I've bought a 1G , 3kGT brake calipers, -the short mounting ears version, SUMITOMO calipers.
( picture below...the marked one, -picture from net )
( another picture, my brackets on the worktable )

I've also bought the VMC - Volks Metal Craft 2G DSM brake brackets, for the 2G knuckle compensation to the 158mm 3kGt calipers mounting holes.

and finally, my REAL question is:
for this config, WHICH 3kGT brake discs will fit for me?
297 mm ??
313 mm??
( I 'm talking in "mm" , because I'm from Europe, we use this :) )

infos from the web:
" 3kGT brake discs, twin turbo:
Diameter: 313mm , Height: 45mm, Thickness: 30mm.
3kGT brake discs, twin turbo - for SUMITOMO calipers:
Diameter: 297mm, Height: 45mm, Thickness: 30mm.

So.. for me, for the short mounting ears 3kGT -sumitomo brackets, which discs will be good?
I think the 297mm.

But before I buy, i want to confirm this..because it costs a lot of money... ( EBC turbo-grooved discs, with Yellow stuff pads )

Thanks for a lot .. for the readings.. and for the answers too ! :)
