RS4 B5 front brakes?

[CliveH]

Hi guys,

I've just acquired an ABY S2 Coupe.

Just wondering if anyone knows if the RS4 B5 front calipers can be used on the S2?
The RS4 stock discs are 360x32mm.

Thanks in advance,

Nope because the bolt spacings are wrong on the caliper carriers, the only good brake upgrade on the S2 is the tried and trusted method of Porsche caliper's

Thanks for the prompt response Corey

It was a bit of a long shot, I know, but thought it was worth asking as I have a pair of said calipers in the garage...looks like it's the Porsche route it is then...

Which is the easiest/cheapest option? 993/996/Cayenne/Boxster?

[CliveH]

Just another thought - is it not possible to use a customised caliper mounting bracket to accommodate?

I would suggest selling the RS4 caliper's to an S4 owner with the suitable bolt spacing.

The most cost effective (we don't do cheap ) route is the 996 monoblock route, looking at your sig I assume your S2 has the stock 16" Avus wheel, which would dictate you to go the 314mm diameter disc route, the better option is the 323mm diameter but this would mean swapping to 17" wheels, either disc is a good upgrade but obviously the bigger diameter disc is better and I am just showing you your options if you were considering larger wheels at some point.

Hardly patented but yes if you want the biggest but hardly cost effective, lol

BSA Racing hold the patent on the bracket design.
Audi designed the rest.

Only half of the bracket

What do you call a bracket that holds a bracket anyway

Perfectly possible.
Just find yourself a decent engineering shop. Take the whole caboodle to them (hub carrier,caliper, brake disk etc....and get them to machine a pair up for you to suit

Is there anyone eslse who fancies slagging off my brakes? I'll start a new thread for it if you like...

My apologies for going for something a bit different. My point was to show what could be done with OE parts. I didn't realise I was going to be frowned upon because I don't use second hand porsche bits to slow my car down

I best keep my rear brake setup a secret as that wasn't sourced from the set of scrap heap challenge either.
