Fitted New Cayenne Calipers on UrS6.

[Thuppu]

Thanks pop!

I was going to buy 17Z calipers, did call about them, but then waited too long and someone else did buy them. So I panict and did take the 18Z that was the same price.

I can make any modifications to the strut fittings if nessesary, but fitting under the 17" wheel isn't needed, all my wheels are 18". Only my winter and ice track wheels are 16" so have to forget about them now.

if you re not having problem running the 18" rims,18zr ain't your problem then Thomas.
the rest is much easier than you fabricated the swirlpot

[Thuppu]

Yes, need to buy new winter tyres, 17" could be cheaper, but then I have to get new wheels for them. I will just look at 18" tyres...

Hello Goeran,
let's update your thread mate i remember
you have sn alternative solution on front brake setup.
and doesn't need to resize the discs iirc.that's cool.

[Thuppu]

Btw pop, what brakeline hoses do you use?

[popdemonic]

Thomas,
i believe you could use stock brake hoses if the length
is enough when turning the wheel lock to lock.fortunately,
i have a pair of old SS goodridge from a nissan 350z.i had them on
urs6 and worked well.

Pop:

Yes my intention is to do something like this as soon I get well enough to begin. It´s worktraining and rehab that´s on focus for the moment.



Had almost them done in MDF wood before the incident with my back, so when they are ready I´m gonna leave them to my friend that work with CNC so I can have them in billet aluminium or steel.

Then you will have a caliper that sits straight instead of bent and you don´t need to rezise down the disc or pad.

What strut cartridges do you have?

[Wrath]

HP2 euro style...

[dustovich]

Those look a lot more robust then the american versions , especially with that reservoir. Sorry to hijack.

[Wrath]

That just some picture I took from the internet, they will look kinda like that but bigger and more robust.

Gents I wonder if you can confirm if the 18z calipers will fit straight onto my C6 A6 3.0tdi avant.
My current disc size is 347 x 30mm. Do I bolt them onto my existing carriers or straight onto the hub?
If not a "plug n play" unit, what mods are needed to make them fit?
Is it best to get the larger disc or can I stay with existing disc?

Sorry for all the questions for my first post, but I hope this will make the braking better.

Thanks
George

George,
you need to try to measure the caliper mouting distance on the strut if yours is 130mm IIRC.
if yes,you probably can fit 18zr calipers.

Great write up!

1.18ZR/ZL from 955 Cayenne S or Turbo.only differences between these caliper is finished color..

This part is a little confusing. These are
Porsche Panamera / late Cayenne Turbo S calipers (4.8 V8 NOT 4.5 V8 which came with the 19Z's). They are larger than 18Z's so not exactly the same.

These are the part #'s
955-351-421-70
955-351-422-70

George,
you need to try to measure the caliper mouting distance on the strut if yours is 130mm IIRC.if yes,you probably can fit 18zr calipers.

Not without adapters.Both 18Z & 19Z use a 146mm Centre to Centre on the axial mount
Same goes for B8 S4/S5/RS4/RS5 so if your C6 has a 146mm centre to centre then you can use them.
