  • Front Upgrade - 996 Calipers

    Hi All,

    I ended up (finally!) fitting the following on my S2 about 2 weeks ago

    - Black 996 4 pot Calipers
    - 314x30 A8 Rotors
    - RS2 Hardlines
    - Ferodo DS2500 Pads
    - RS2 Strut to Caliper brackets + bolts

    I have the standard 16" Avus wheels, and while clearance is a little tight, I'm happy it is enough.

    Performance is amazing after bedding in. I got to test them in anger last weekend at a DECA driver training (fun!) day. DECA have a large concrete skid pan, and a short but sweet back track sprint type circuit.

    Coupled with the RS2 Turbo, RS2 Manifold, MRC RS2 Chipset upgrade I've been completing over the past few months the car is now awesome. My low boost problem seemed to be related to a faulty MFTS. After resolving that the power is amazing. And now it stops very well also

    Very happy

    Very nice. The brake upgrade is the best mod for a S2. OEM brakes suck big time. Good luck with it!

        The only tips I can give you is to read the wealth of information available in the Brakes section of this forum. That's where I discovered what to do!
