At only £214 plus vat you could have a very good brake setup for the rear too!

I think i will go for this option just as soon i get my 6pot's with 365x35mm setup on the front.

Nice what kind of disc you gonna try wite these caliper?
and the brackets will be custom made like the handbrake cables ?.

Hmmm interesting

I saw an audi v8 converdion in to a lotus and spoted thease in the back ground, so as to what im going to do with the handbrake, i dont totally know is the answer and im going to go for the maximum disk size which is 325x24mm, on the back this should be adequate for balancing my new front setup which is partialy purchaced!

These look a very interesting solution! Just a question though, have HiSpec improved their quality, I know a few years ago a few people here had issues with HiSpec calipers?

What kind of issues? dan b.

It is the lack of seals? Can't remember....

[quattro]

What the dust seals or the actual piston sealing i.e brakefluid leekage?

[A80Avant]

this is a nice option to loose the poor handbrake on the RS2 as well...They need to be in red though and say porsche on them instead!!!

Only issue I had with Highspec was the dude himself

[volcano rs]

i read somewhere about the calipers cracking can't remember where though

Issue I remember was Tom (Audiman) having a piston seal failure a few years back.
Those older calipers also lacked dust seals. These new ones appear to have them.

Key to this is the handbrake mechanism - it needs to be side actuated for a smooth deployment on the Coupe with stock handbrake and retaining clips.

If someone wants to pursue this then great - I suggest the real custom carriers are designed with the 300x22 disc from the neu S4/Cabrio - dimensions are pretty perfect. There is an even larger disc available on rear of some A8/S8 - would need to hit the family album for part numbers.

Suitable 300x22 disc is 8E0615601R - right PCD, perfect centre and suitable hat height.

I have dealt with Hi-Spec a lot over the last 3-4 months and I have to say their service has been exceptional. There's some bad press on the internet which tends to get brought up everytime Hi-Spec is mentioned, but from personal experience I can say that they seem top-notch and very helpful these days

Im ging to use custom hats and rotors, with the maximum disc size and allso use 365x35mm up front with 6 pot alcon's to keep it nice and balanced!

This will be my new year project, but im sure it wont be the only one too!

Any body know of any a specialist local to north wales or chester that would come recomended, i dont mind traveling, i just want thease damn wilwoods off my car now, they are PANTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
