Rear calipers with big fronts

[rotoryboy]

Looks good enough to me. I think I'll go down that route for now.

@ Mark- Did you notice any improvement from stock? I'm mainly doing it to put larger disc's on but would be nice to know

I don't if it was brought up before, but the piston on the A8 caliper are slightly larger than the ones on the UrS6. You should get a little more braking power out of the A8.

Mark,

Well I did notice a small improvement but that may be because the old brakes were in a bad way with siezing calipers, worn discs etc.

But as Greg says the piston in the A8 caliper is bigger so it should make a difference.

Yes Greg is right about that hole being a touch too small, I just crawled under the car and snapped a pic.

Me being the bodger I am when I did the conversion, I just pushed the cable end into the bracket and fitted the clip, I didn't open up the hole and as can be seen in the photo the cable sleeve end is not fully seated (arrow).

Mind you in my defence it still works perfectly well.

Aye Mark - your 'bodges' are famous now !
