S1 Brakes

[kwlw]

This photo's from the April 2001 Audi Driver mag and the calipers fitted to a road going 20V ur-quattro.



Other rally teams used similar looking things, eg. Toyota Celica Turbo.

Those brakes were used on stock quattro sport aka shorty and also on rally urqs.

Any ideas where I could get a pair & chance of them fitting standard S2 & discs?

Ask Jeffer, he has purchased such thingys for his shorty replica quite recently (you can see the calipers in his project thread here).

And any reason why not to fit front brake setup on the rear as per the rally cars? The front & rear struts should be the same, right?

Wrong. Both statemens are wrong.

Regarding S1 brake setup, I browsed my brake p0rn repository this morning, searching for S1 brakes. Gravel and less powerful setups like A2, 10v - used same caliper as in picture, however brake discs were racing type. On tarmac, at least in some pictures - porsche/girling racing caliper was used. Same as on old school racing porkers.

If someone really wants to see, I can put few pictures somewhere. Just ask .

P.S. I have seen S1 big brake version with Alcon/Audi circuit racing calipers on MTM S1, however I doubt they are genuine part used in rally in the time S1 was racing.
