    RS2 Front Brake Upgrade Kit.....

    I have at long last got a UK made bracket for the RS2 Monoblock Front Brake Upgrade...

    These backets are for the 997 GT3 Mk1 Calipers 996-351-429 & 430.

    They come complete with Helicoils and new bolts to mount them on with...

          What discs can you mount these on a 5x112 hub with?

            You can use the S8 345mm or 360mm discs but the mounts used here would be no good for either disc, you'd have to make some new ones.

            Le Audi S2 are these for the 322m or 330mm discs with the RS2?

              TBH Andy I don't know as they were desgined just to fit the RS2 with the 5 x 130 discs.

              I dare say there will be something that suits, but I am looking at getting a bracket made for the S2 that will allow these calipers to be mounted with 323mm discs...

                You'd be better offering it for the 345mmx32mm A8 / S8 disc

                323x30 on a caliper that's designed for a 330x34mm IMO isn't going to work when the pads wear

                You have to warn people about letting the pads wearing too low.

                    I looked into it when I had S2 hubs, Bram's car is the prototype http://www.s2forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=23597

                    He used 360x34 discs

                      345mm suits these calipers a bit nicer.

                      My 360mm discs caused the brake pads not touching the disc 100%. I could not bring the calipers closer to the discs, without them touching and keeping a bit of slack distance when discs heat up and extend slightly.
                      About 2mm of the brake pads was sticking above the discs, so I had to rub down a bit of the pads in order to avoid squiling sounds when the pads wear down. Nother major though.

                      360mm is just brutal brake force, but very welcome on a heavy S2 Avant. I think 345mm is just as fine

                      In case you want to use A8 360mmx34mm discs with these Porsche GT3 mk1 calipers you can use this drawing as a reference

                        Thanks Bram...

                        What size alloys did you have to use with the 360mm discs?

                            Missed that question it's the 330mm or the Porsche 993 Turbo replacements 965-351-046-00 & 965-351-045-00

                              It was a very tight fit underneath the S8 mk1 18" Avus wheels. 3-4mm clearance or something like that. The S8 mk1 rims are known for giving quite a lot of space. I guess with most 18" you will run into problems........
