Converting 322mm big reds to run on 330mm discs

[jade]

I am having some calipers brackets made to convert my RS 2 322 mm setup to run 996 330mm discs, will also require a 8 mm front wheel space if running standard wheels

Anyone interested in some brackets or have any thoughts on it

Cheers

Replacement disc's for a 3rd of the price

Any more info on this? Is the hat height no problem with the 996 330mm discs?

this would fit our big red RS2's by just mounting a different bracket and a 8mm wheel spacer?

This is a standard conversion, brackets are available off the shelf from VRS / Bambridge

You use GT3 discs but you need 10mm spacers on the front wheels. I run this setup with no issues.

I will be using my 965 big reds so it's 130mm mounting not 142mm like your gt3 big reds

Cool, could do with some new discs soon, so that would be interesting.
Just that I'm not a fan of spacers, certainly not 10mm... But neither am I fan of paying 600€ for 2 front 322mm discs for my rs2

I was thinking about these discs http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Porsche-99...item2c68395694

Yes spacers is a pain could get away with 6 to 8 mm

Cool, I've got the spacers so should contact Bambridge or VRS for some adapters then.

If you have old school big reds they Have 130mm mounting where as the brackets supplied by bambridge are 142mm, my be he could supply a couple of special orders of 130mm mounting ?

Asked him

Or could you supply some brackets, since you are having some made up?

Working on it at the moment I will let you know

I have done this using 996 calipers (actually off a 997 but believe they're the same) and 996 turbo discs (330mm) not sure if its relevant to what you're asking. No wheel spacers required. home made brackets

Cool info, thanks!
But I'll be using my OEM big reds, and I believe those require different brackets?
The 322mm disc sits 7.5mm more inwards compared to the 330mm 996 disc (77mm height vs 69.5mm). This means that disc sits more towards the spokes of the wheel, meaning a different bracket is need.

If I'm correct, that would have to be a bracket that moves the caliper 4mm upwards (since the disc is 8mm higher) and 7.5mm more towards the wheel.
