    I think with RS2 calipers you will have a problem with the handbrake mechanism. I just fitted EBC discs and red pads to the stock setup and its a major improvement, not bigger though so still looks small in the 18s.

      search the forums, i'm sure there was an S8 rear caliper which could be used with a vented, larger diameter rear disc setup....

        It's been covered several times with different aproaches. There are several different options, the ones that seem feasible on a reasonable budget all seem to revolve around S8/S4C4/S4B5/S6 combo's and then front discs from late VW/Audi. Note that the setups for Sedan/Avant differ from Coupe versions when you start searching the forum.

                Ultimate? Bold words. I'm guessing CF discs, beryllium calipers and to top it off, dirt cheap then?

                    I should have my rear brake upgrade ready soon. I'll be sure to post pictures on my project thread as well as feedback on how the setup works. I went with the S8 caliper carriers with new beetle 280x25 vented rotors and urs4 calipers.

                            I've started to locate parts for that exact conversion, grooved discs and Ferodo pads.
