Brake upgrade on S2 3B rims??

[Rocco]

i had installed a 300x28 discs from Mercedes Benz Vito V6 with a double piston calipers from Bosch/Mercedes

for a very few money you will can take the discs,bolts,huge calipers,pads in 70% of life....all that you need for plug/play in 2 hour of time


works far better than oem brakes and looks like this :

I like the sound of the 314 porsche setup clearing 3b rims with a spacer, could save some money.

Hi Rocco,

Yes I have seen your upgrade but if you want to use some "sport" pads like ferrodo DS2500 or yellow pagid I'm not sure that there are available (I don't have made a research if it exists...)
And it is just 2 pistons calipers... but I agree it is a possible upgrade for the 16" 3b rims

Andy10V -> sorry but I don't understand your answer...

yes of course¡¡

the calipers are 2 pistons...but they are much bigger diameter than girling 60 pistons

i´ve stayed ina track and no problems with it...all was perfect

good luck

Sorry just observing that this thread indicates that the porsche setup with 314 callipers would clear 3b wheels with a spacer, I previously understood that 314s with porsche calipers would not fit at all and the aby 6 spoke avus wheels were needed.

I appreciate the info the thread has brought up.

Sorry I cannot contribute.

ah ok Andy10V but in the thread you have given the link nobody has really upgraded in 996 calipers with the 16" 3b rims... (pictures or own experience)

May I suggest that to move this thread on from where we are right now, that one of you guys that has a 5 spoke speedline alloy wheel actually take some measurements...

1, The inside diameter of the alloy nearest the spokes..
2, The inside diameter of the alloy at the outer rim..

This will help to find out what the taper is of the actual alloy wheel...

I can then compare this to the 16" avus as I still have one that I can measure to see what the difference is...

I personally cant see why the 986 front calipers would not fit inside these wheels when they will fit inside the 15" UR alloys... But I am assuming that the mounting on the UR strut is the same as the S2 Strut... I know the caliper mounting holes are the same...

The 986 Calipers are much thinner than the 996 Fronts, so any clearance issue wold be sorted by that issue straight away..

As I have a set of both 986 & 996 fronts I will take some measurements tomorrow just to see what the difference is...

If I have time (and if the weather is good... not sure) I will take saturday the measurements like you has suggested...

[hub]

1, The inside diameter of the alloy nearest the spoke = 35 cm
2, The inside diameter of the alloy at the outer rim = 39,5 cm

well done.hope you can install the 996 big reds with 314x30 A8 discs may with a few mm spacers

[andy10v]

I have both 3b and aby avus wheels and should be able to measure them by Friday.

Need to wait until Kev reads this and we can get some measurements about the bracket...

Have been keeping up with the thread...

I will have a look at my 6 Spoke Avus tomorrow - as I am at home all day!!...

Been busy this weekend fitting my new Recaro Interior to my Golf...
