  • Which is the best front brake upgrade on a S2 with 16" rims?

    Hello, on my S2 I can fit only the 16" rims here in Italy, now I want to upgrade my front brake disk and I see for fit the original RS2 front calipers, not the big reds and for the A8 314x30 mm drilled brake disk, but I don't know if I can fit this brake kit under the original 16" S2 Avus rims and also under the 16" S2 original 3B rims and under the 16" OZ Superturismo and Superturismo WRC rims. What do you think about it? Fit the big reds with the 323x30 mm drilled brake disk I think that is impossible under a 16" rims or it's possible?
    Thanks a lot!
    Bye

    I`m not sure if the RS2 calipers and 323mm a8 disc will fit under the 16 inch avus wheel..
    I am currently running Wilwood superlite calipers and the 323mm A8 discs, I think this is a very good brake upgrade since I can fit the stock avus over it (just) and they work real good

      For fit the 323x30 mm brake disk I must fit also the Porsche 993 Turbo big reds calipers that I have already on my RS2 with 322x32 mm brake disk, but the RS2 have 17" rims and I think that the 16" rims don't fit with this brake kit.

        As a matter interest,

        what is the reason you are restricted to 16' rims in Italy?

        Am I correct in thinking that your original request was for any information from others on if the standard RS2 brakes of 304mm will fit with 16' Avus wheels?

        Kind regards.

          In Italy, fit bigger rims that the original is not simple, so I can fit only 16" rims for now. I want know if under 16" rims I can fit the original RS2 front calipers with 314x30 mm brake disk and if I can fit also the big reds with 323x30 mm brake disk or 322x32 mm brake disk.
          Thanks a lot!

            I have 315mm discs and split 4 pot callipers and there is a 4mm gap between calliper and 16" avus, so i'd be supprised if you could go bigger. you might squeeze another 2-3mm on the disk diameter, but it would be custom.

              I know under 16 inch AVUS alloys you can fit porsche/rs2 callipers with the 314 discs but they are close

              i'm not sure if you can fit them under the 5 spoke 3b alloys.

                The Porsche 996 Boxter S caliper will fit under 16" Avus with the 314 A8 disc, this is extremely well documented on this site. Many of us have been running this setup for a few years now. I have 18s on at the moment but can switch back to my 16"s at any time, you have to get the brackets custom made or RS2 or Seat Leon Cupra brackets machined to fit, you get about 3mm clearance between caliper and inside of the rim.

                          You can fit 323mm disk with RS2 carriers with no modification - only issue is they don't fit under 16" Avus rim.

                          You need to reduce disk down to 314mm and modify the carrier to bring the caliper closer to centre of wheel. I am about to do this soon...

                            Details are being left out because i think he's confused. The a8 315/314mm discs are 25mm thick and need boxster caliper and custom carriers or modifed carriers to work.
