    S4 twin turbo (B5) front brakes

    Are the front brakes, 321mm*30mm size discs and calipers from an early twin turbo S4 any use to S2 owners? I know someone who has a full set - the rears are for solid discs so I can't use them as an upgrade form my rears.

    I looked at fitting some of these a while ago, they were from a 2001 S6 which are the same, but the mounting points are completely different, i couldnt see a way of machining them to suit the S2 hub.
    gave up in the end and sold them on.

      IIRC the biturbo S4 uses a weird disc offsett and therefore isn't a great option for us. The calipers are "HP2"s and about the best that Audi have offered as a standard equipment. They come with 2 pistons and 4 small pads. A different approach that is

        There is an organization here in the USA called BIRA (www.bira.org) and they make a one-off bracket for 996 porsche calipers and the S4 (321x30mm OE rotors) that fits our cars. I just thought I'd mention it.
