Good day!
OK sure someone on here has already done this but I cannot find
Has anyone fitted the passat w8 brakes to an S2 front and rear? If so what is needed to carry out and if you did fit them was it worth it?
Help much appreciated.

If it's the same then this is the 4 pad caliper generally called the HP2 caliper. I'll be looking into this in the coming weeks (as soon as I can get some calipers in my hands).
The dislike for them in general is the additional weight they add to the unsprung mass and hence the porsche brembo is the preferred option. The brake disc off the passat won't be any use to you as the hat height will be all wrong. Discs of an A8 / A6 would be better candidates.
the old s8 345x30 disc was a good match from memory but doesn't fit under a standard 996 C2/Boxster S monoblock without some extreme machining! I have a feeling the Passat disc was looked at a while back as the extra width would help cooling/performance but you'd be down to making bespoke brackets etc for the caliper to hang off and reposition for the revised offset.
