Search the forum for Porsche 996 calipers. My total cost was less than £450 for recon'd calipers, custom brackets, RS2 brake pipes, A8 discs, Textar pads.

These are what Pete was running on his old Avant and what i have on my car from the previous owner.

They do fit under 16" Avus wheels off the shelf like this but caliper to wheel clearance is minimal - probably less than 1mm. You're better off machining the disc down from 314mm to ~308mm to provide more clearance. This is what I did.

i have the idea that maybe i can use the disc from the a8 the caliper and bracket from a v6 4motion golf,does any body have the part number for the a8 disc/an old woren disc i could have,for testing my idea.
when you can use the s2 caliper on the g60/ g3 vr6,then it must work the other way too.
