Porsche is a good value for money solution at around the £500-£600 mark. Bry may be able to help as he's done a few S2s, me included.Cheers'en, AndyC

It has been suggested to my good self that the only disc that will fit the UFO hub with minimum machining is actually a Merc SL500 AMG front disc...comments/opinions please boys
These uS4/100 UFO's/floating calipers sound like a nightmare...

I need to get rid of my ufos too. I've been looking for a fairly straightforward upgrade route for some time but haven't had much luck! There's some upgrades available in the US but none are particularly cheap, especially when you add the cost of importing the kit! I've been planning on just getting hold of some big discs and calipers and then getting a custom bracket made up to mount the caliper but I haven't got round to doing anything just yet. If anyone on here can help in any way, I too would be glad to hear your ideas!!

I think that even this disc needs the wheel stud holes and disc centre hole enlarging slightly!!

Yep they do, I've had mine machined already and they fit fine.
Disc centre and bolt holes need taken out by 1mm each, plus a few thou a clearance fit.
