no chance you can just run a small spacer to get the extra offset required to give the room on the new calipers?

Afraid not. With the 205 tyres I am using I have 3mm of clearance max in the wheel arch and that is with the edges rolled slightly, worked out I needed at least a 5mm spacer, not something I felt happy doing. Thought braking was fine until they faded and better than my 98' Passat for sure. What pads do S2 drivers use that help reduce fade?1986 Coupe q - 2281cc 3B, chargecooler, 2.75" exh & downpipe, ported head, water injection, CGR box, modified MD357 turbo, 440cc injectors, high power coil.

Thanks for the info you lot, I am currently running on standard calipers with Zimmerman crossed drilled discs and pads. They were fine on my last trip to the ring, i guess they just didnt like the temprature that day 34+. looks like i will start looking for some 996 calipers.
