Default 380 upgrade for the RS

What do you guys think of upgrading to 380´s brake discs using the stock 8piston callipers?

I think that the OEM callipers would work well with larger discs and lager is always better right?

In this ebay.de auction they sell a 380 kit with what I thing is the same callipers that we have so the only thing that is needed is new adapters to fit the larger discs?<ul><li><a href="http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;rd=1&amp;item=300174368 315&amp;ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&amp;ih=020">http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;rd=1&amp;item=300174368 315&amp;ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&amp;ih=020</a

Default Bigger brakes are not always what is needed on a car...

Why add extra weight and rotational mass to the wheel/suspension if it is not required from a performance stand point?

exactly. and from what I understand the OEM 8 piston calipers weigh a ton too.
