Got my Flex + Stoptech installed on 05 Coupe
14" Stoptech kit and Tein Flex + EDFC. In the process of mounting the EDFC in the ashtray, so I don't have pics of that yet.
Flex are a bit harder than stock, but running them at 14 front and rear gives an acceptable ride. Before the EDFC was hooked up they were at full hard for a couple of days - it would make my back hurt after a little while.
Brakes are good, need temperature to work well though. Come off the freeway and the first couple of brake applications are a little weak, when they warm up they feel much better. I'm using the included pad (Axxis Ultimates front, OEM Porsche in the rear).

Looking nice. I just installed on my 6MT sedan the Stoptech BBK as well [355 rotors all around like you]. I ordered my kit with the Hawk HPS pads up front instead of the Axxis pads. I haven't tried a setup with the Axxis pads, but the Hawk HPS seems to offer decent initial bite [what I expected for a street pad].

Wheel specs:
Tires are 245 in front and 275 in rear. Wheels clear the brakes with a good 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch to spare.
As for what is involved in the EDFC, that's still unclear. It definitely cannot hinge out when the ashtray is opened, the unit hits the hazard switch. I am trying to find a way to mount it in the ashtray hole, and still have the cover work.
