Go for the 300mm S4 V8 upgrade on the back, if you've got the porsche/bigger brakes on the front...............
or have a look here.http://www.carparts-direct.co.uk/brake_calipers.cfm
Just some finishing touches to do now -
brakeparts.co.uk do reasonably priced rebuilds, as do GSF.
upgrade though if you need to replace them anyway?Panthero Coupé quattro 20vt

Biggred.co.uk - They do the seal kits, refurbed calipers etc at sensible prices with good delivery. Seal kit for a standard coupe is about £22 delivered, not sure if the S2 is any different. The URS6 has vented rears but I don't know about the S2.
It is an awkward job to replace all of the seals on a rear caliper though... Fronts are easy, rears are unpleasant...Comment

I did the one on my Coupe last year Bloomin' nightmare to say the least and swore I would never do it again BUT last month ended up doing the rears on my kitcar and decided that I am indeed very stupid for forgetting just how awkward some of the 'hidden' seals are to do......

Thanks for your help guys - don't think I'll bother to upgrade even though front brakes are about to be RS2'd - tbh, I don't drive the S2 that hard
, I have another car for abusing, weighs 600kgs with 200bhp. I can abuse that all day long without worrying about tyre or brake wear, that's the beauty of it! (proper handfull in the wet mind 
)
