    Any other alternative S2 Avant rear brakes?

    I got myself a complete kit of urS4/S6 rear brakes and the calipers fits nicely but the discs have a complete different offset.

    Is there any disc that could fit, with minor modifications? I know that the S4 B7 route is very convenient but since I already have the other equipment at home it would be nice to use it

    Mk1 Audi TT 256mm vented rear discs can be used if you get them drilled. I think you have to use a B5 S4 facelift rear calipers for that set up, but it might work? There cheap enough to try.

    This site tells you the hat height of the disk so have a search around and you might find a disc that matches up. Worth a try.

      Thanx for that link! Looks like the A8/S8 269mm rear disc could be a close match. The height is 6 mm taller (46mm vs. S2 40mm) and taking into count that the disc is also ventilated and twice as thick it could probably be used by just using a spacer of 3mm (?) on the inside. Although the TT has a height of 37mm.

      Worth a try with the S8 unless some already been down that route and has any other experience?
