              Hi,

              Have done this mod on my RS2, brackets fit perfectly but you will need new calliper bolts (4) because the ones that or on there won't fit.

              I now have GT3 Monoblocks on the front and Boxter S monoblocks on the rear. I am also using porsche discs and pads too which makes them cheaper and easier to find than Audi.

              Problem of calliper corrosion gone forever !

                I have the exact same setup , ah yes if you didn't know you need new bolts all round.

                I used high grade ones from a local supplier instead of buying Porsche ones and cutting them to size

                  Jamo,

                  Yes, the bolts are nothing special, I got mine from a local hardware store... could not tell the difference to the porsche ones, just a fraction of the cost !

                  What other mods have you done ?
                  Here is my small list
                  Koni adjustables f&r
                  GT3 Monoblocks front with Porsche 965 Turbo S drilled discs
                  Boxter S Monoblocks rear with Porsche 928S4 drilled discs
                  K&N Airfilter
                  HID headlight upgrade
                  Audi A6 Aero wipers
                  Rear touran aero wiper
                  BMW Auto dimming rear view mirror

                  Car is UK spec Nogaro Blue RS2 with 196,000 miles, recent dyno gave 335bhp, not modified as far as I know..... Pulls like a train..

                          I hope they are proper high tensile bolts..

                              You can get the 330 under standard wheels wheel weights need to be move to the rear however.

                              There is no porsche part number for drilled rear discs only solid ones, there's a huger BTDT on the fourm
