RS2 Brake Question

[johnboy 3169]

Good morning,

I have had a (mans) look through the forum I can't seem to find the answer

I have a question regarding the front brakes on my RS2 the car as far as i am aware had the standard front disc's when I started the refurbishment, I have come to put some bigger disc's on the front which are 322mm but the callipers don't fit the calliper carriers there is a gap between the calliper and the calliper carriers.

Do I need new calliper carrier's or new callipers? or would it just be better to get new drilled and vented 304mm disc's?

Your help and views are welcome thanks in advance

John

I always thought the 304's were pretty good on my rs2 back in the day, so I would have just gone for drilled/vented if it was me.

The 322mm disc used a different caliper but the same mounting brackets. That probably accounts for the differences.
The 322mm caliper is often referrred to as the big red/993 tt. It uses different (deeper) pads as well.

304 x32 x 5 x 130s were standard RS2 fitment with a smaller caliper:

The upsized 322 x 32 x 5 x 130s needed a bigger caliper:
