What brakes have you gone for?

Nice job on the car, and good save on the rear subframe.

My own avant is from Aberdeen, seems none can escape the rust.

Got the mazda discs, will post up some photos as the factory ones look really small behind the S8 Avus the 314s will look much better

Yea need to do the same on the front subframe, got DIY coilovers on the way as struts are not much better.
Thinking I will have to treat inside of doors back arches and repair replace wings before a respray

Ive got Porsche 996 up front with 323discs.
Bought some new banbridge brackets as my seat ones need a washer to space them back from the disc.
Maybe sell them on for use with 314 discs.

Got some nice pictures of the S2 this weekend so I thought I would share

[sjw185]

Got the K24R rear brake kit fitted, finally looks like the s2 actually has rear brakes.
Big difference in braking, front not diving as much now. Need to finish my suspension to see how everything comes together?

Coilovers are coming together, springs are specials at 250lbs. Still need to get them fitted though. Turned out to be more expensive than I first though but decided to go with them to see how they feel?
This is special spring next to standard.







Got the struts all painted with por15 will need to decide on topmounts and get them fitted.

Weird looking spring for an Audi, why did you go for this option?

Car looks great with the 18" Avus on

Weird looking spring for an Audi, why did you go for this option?

The part number was recommended when bought the coilover parts.
Spring travel of 9" standard 2.5" diameter stock springs were either going coil bound or very close to coil bound up front so these springs were developed to allow more travel.
Mr Tonks is running these as I think he was getting some noise up front with the standard spring.
I decided to buy for all 4 corners in for a penny in for a pound!
I see KW springs are much shorter so they don't have this issue but need the 9" for DIY struts.
