The R came stock with the "Super Performance" brakes, 380 mm front and 376 mm rear.
The base V6 came with the "Performance" brakes, 355 mm front and 326 mm rear.
Both the V6S and base could be optioned with the Super Performance brakes.
My V6S came with the stock brakes ie 326 mm rear but a few years ago I updated those rear brakes to the 376 mm version.
So if you have a V6S or V6 R-Dynamic the VAP rotors will "work" for the front brakes only but not for the rear brakes unless the car was optioned with the Super Performance brakes or the optional 376 mm rear brakes were fitted later, and AFAIK I am the only one here who has done that.
You can't just whack the 326 mm calipers and pads on 376 mm rotors, they look pretty much identical to the 376 mm versions but they are slightly different and they won't fit.
Seeing as the V6S and base both came stock with the 326 mm rear brakes there is a bigger market for the smaller two piece rotors than you may have thought.
News to me. I wasn't aware of any V6S models coming with the smaller rear brakes. But also why we list pads etc. by rotor size so people double check.

Maybe it was a NAS vs ROW thing?
I know for a fact that the ROW V6S came stock with the 326 mm rear brakes as mine did, and I always thought it was the same with the NAS cars.
I'm sure I recall some US/Canadian member(s) here talking about their V6S with the 326 mm rear brakes.
It's good that you list pads by rotor size, many sellers don't and just list them as "F-Type" pads (and/or rotors) - looking at you R1 Concepts! - and you are left guessing as to which size pads/rotors they are talking about.

Oz has it right (as usual), 380/326 standard on the V6S.

Other than weight, I have no complaints with these brakes, particularly after switching to Porterfield pads.
