    17z calipers on urs6? Has anyone ran these on the front?

    As the title states I'm trying to run 17z's on the front of my urs6.
    I've found brackets for coupes to mount 17z or 18z's but nothing
    for the urS/c4 platform. Any insight guys? Also my car is a 95.5
    USDM s6.

    Hi they bolt straight on you just need a spacer and longer bolts to centralize the disc

      They bolt straight up to the urS6 HP2 style struts with spacers depending on which disc you go for, but don't you have the G60 calipers (same as the S2) on the US spec S6? In which case you'll need a bracket that suits the S2.

        it all depends on what strut you're having on your car.if you have G60,you definitely need brackets in order to using the 17 either 18zr Calipers.
        HP2 is the trick,16mm spacers on caliper mountings with Audi Rotors.all is bolt straight up.

          They won't bolt up to your car as is because USDM cars don't have HP2 struts. But, I am currently working on an order for 25+ sets of these for a group buy (closed last Friday, but you could still get in on it) for brackets to run the 17Z on the urS4/6 with 323x30 A8 rotors.

          I will try to put the guy handling the group buy in touch with you if you are interested.

            Let me know who is selling them. I have paypal ready.
            Also these are brackets so you can run them on USDM
            strut cartridges correct? Do you think some ECS or JHM
            330mm lightweight 2 piece rotors will work in place of the
            A8 323mm?

              I had considered using the JHM rotors from the Big Brake Kit,18z caliper & 350mm rotor, for the B5S4 when I did the 18z caliper on the UFO struts conversion. Never could get an answer about the rotor offset & ended up using the 347mm rotor from an '06 A6.

                The hats from JHM for b5s4 have less offset. We ended up making custom hats that match the offset of the a8 323 or s8 345 rotors. But using the same rings, which are actually from Coleman racing.

                Custom left, raw, and JHM right...about 10mm different...

                    I'll take a set of brackets and if you have rings that would allow me to run those JHM 330mm rotors
                    I'll buy those as well.

                          Any chance you'll be making those rotor hats to be able to run JHM or ECS rotors?

                            Not as far as I'm aware

                            Last I heard on the GB, people were looking into a set of Adam's rotors. They're nice, but no 2 piece option.

                              If I can't find any 2 piece option I'll be using Adam's rotors but I really would like to use a nice lightweight 2 piece design.
