s2 brake upgrade

[greenyman]

hi guys,finally going to upgrade standard front brakes.(1996 aby s2) having just got a really good set of 18" version 1 avus s8 alloys i was wondering if i could fit bigger discs than the ones from the a/s8 with different calipers. i was thinking of the 370mm discs and calipers.from a rs3.will it fit? what brake lines would i need, any thoughts or pratical advice or alternative set ups welcome.

Why would you need to. I run 323 mm on mine i can and have brought it down from 120 mph plus to nothing in no time at all. It makes you feel sick.

I have a nice set of front discs pads and calipers from a audi s4 b7 2008 with very low miles in very good condition and at a very competitive price if you don't want to spend big money for the porsche upgrade.discs are 345mm.

I was thinking of the 370mm discs and calipers.from a rs3.will it fit?

From reading on here over the years, I feel that 360mm is the absolute biggest disc that you could use with a 18" S8 rim. A 350mm disc might be easier and less grief, but 370mm imo would be too big.

Let us know how you get on.

I live near south east london in essex.no idea on how much can cost as they are quite heavy,one disc weights 12kg and one caliper around 7kg(that's a guess)

I run a 360mm rotor set up which come from the w12 phaeton....what can I say I'm a sucker for brake upgrades!...
it does depend on your caliper and how you mount which governs your disc size...
