    looking for big brakes

    Hello,
    I'm building a replica of an Audi Sport Quattro. I've installed Audi Coupe hub carriers with 5-bolt hubs. But I don't know which brakes to fit.
    I'm using 17" CompoMotive rims. I see there are several options for the front:

    323mm, 330mm, 314mm
    Boxster, 993, RS2 calipers?

    What big brakes could I adapt to this?

    Same for the rear. I need advice on finding a larger brake system that allows me to connect the original handbrake cable.

    Sorry for my approximate English, I use the translator

    I know someone selling a 323mm front set up with AP calipers and I have a 300mm rear set up that uses the standard handbrake cable. Interested?

      I have these 314mm & Brembo 4 pots with carriers for sale if they interest you. Had them fitted to my b2 90q using S2 hubs.

      Thanks

        Thanks for your suggestion. I installed Audi A4 B5 hubs. They have an additional 8mm offset compared to the S2 hubs. The caliper adapters aren't compatible.

        I've read most of the brake-related threads on this forum, and it's been very informative. So, I bought a pair of Big Red calipers near me for the front with 314mm discs. For the rear, I ordered the S4 B6 system with a 300mm diameter. I hope the front/rear distribution will be good. I'm not too worried about braking force; the car weighs 1100kg. For the rear, the only question I have left is whether I have to reduce the discs to 280mm.
