They won't just bolt onto a stock S2, if that's what you mean?

nope not me, looking into something else....something a bit "special"!!....:mischeif:
if it will work.....hence the question.....

any advice would be grand.....

[terrybullwon]

Do you mean ceramic's? If so you will need 19"s

Look at both mine and Bo's threads.

[europeanme]

eeerrr no, not me honest...

if thats the case me thinks 19's would be too much as I'm getting concerned about using 18's......what with the state of the roads....

cheers for the 'heads up'....

Oh and you will need pheaton bells if you use any RS4 discs.

Cheers

thanks for the advice.....can I take it you thought about ceramics??....

ceramics......what kind of monter are you making?!?!? do you rly need the extra braking? i'm all for the more the better, but aren't the rs4 ceramics like £4k?...of course you could always get the pheaton discs, grint them down slightly and have them ceramic coated, i'm pretty sure they can bond to steel....would be hard to find someone to do it but i recon it would be cheeper. most of the modern ceramic discs are carbon fibre i believe which is where much of the high cost comes from.....i expect ceramic pads for the 8 pots will be quite easy to come by....

P.s. give systemst a call, they specialise in bespoke ceramic brake solutions, and very helpful when doing uni projects

hey anton....
looking at the complete kit....maybe but for a 'tad' less than 5k!!......but it's all dependant on a few things....

the idea is still on the drawing board at the mo.....

[terrybullwon]

The problem you will have with this is the fact that the RS4 bells are wrong for the offset. You need pheaton ones but they only sell them with the discs.
