    Best brakes for 17" Alloys

    Whats the best setup in terms of calipers for 17" alloys on an S2?

    Are there any 6 pots that fit? or is the tried and trust Porsche monoblocks the best option?

        330x32 disc with either GT3 4pot or 6pot or it would be possible to use the Cayenne's.

        All of them would require custom brackets though, how soon do you want them?

          Monoblocks are good for the money. Could fit 323mm A8 discs under 17s.

              Blue Peter or not
              Have you got any you made earlier?

                Remember Graham saying he looked at putting Cayennes in there, but was a no/go becasue of the dezents deep dish.
                Suppose anything possible with Bry and Corey around though.

                      I'm putting some of them 8 pot jobs from brembo on My Mustang 356mm disc all going in 17" wheel. It will be very close but will go in.

                        What Corey says - 330mm disc is your max under a 17. There are various multi-pot caliper options which will need various types of bracket made up. I'd love to see 17"s with those Cayenne calipers under them that would be cool.

                        Alternatively jamo you could always fix your little reds - get new sprung plates, easy peasy. Not!

                          Ah Jas, you've just answered one of my unanswered questions! As he had those calipers at donnington.

                            Cayenne's fit perfectly under my S6+ wheels on my S6, with 330x32 discs.
                            S2 is no different.

                              Well if you're going to use wheels with a lot of room like in a competition wheel than 355 mm at front and 330 mm rear would look best I think... Porsche or AP, they both look the bizz!
