996 upgrade on RS2

[Christian_88]

Maybe I'm missing something, but you want to go from the 993tt type to 996?
Am I confused about stock RS2s?
Anyhow Apikol sells brackets that may suit. They still list brackets on the site, but I can't comment on your specific application

You are missing something I am going from stock RS2 to the calipers that has the part number 996352425. some say it will fit perfect to the bracket, but that is not the case

Is the bracket number 8AO 615125?

It is stock RS2 bracket. I have not checked the part number. are there different types of
RS2 brackets maybe?

[4WDrifter]

I'm in the process of gathering up the parts to fit them to my S2.
I'll check the fit tomorrow and let you know

I would think you will need a custom bracket if you use your existing disc.
( if the disc was off the 996 calliper would bolt onto the stock bracket okay but disc mightn't fit under it)
What brake lines are you planning to use?

Those calipers are rears. Piston sizes are too small for use on the front.

Sorry about that, missed one digit. Front is 996351426 Rear ones are 996352422.

RS2 Brake upgrade

Hello Christian88,
BRY have answered correct. All calipers with "996352XXX" are rear calipers.

Front 996 brake calipers have all "996351XXX" part numbers.

The problem from the rear brake calipers is the piston diameter. These calipears have to small pistons for a good brake upgrade at the front axle.
We have done some brake upgrades with 350x34mm discs on the RS2.
These upgrades are possible with 4 pot or 6 pot calipers.
Another option is a brake upgrade with 330x34 disc and a 4 pot caliper.
You need always a bracket that´s fit for 142mm (front caliper mounting)
The 993 have 130mm brackets and doesn´t fit.
Rear 996 brake calipers have 130mm but these are not good for front mounting.
I have some picture in my Album what are the difference from front to rear.

Hello, as i wrote i was wrong. i do have the right caliper. Front is 996351426 Rear ones are 996352422. so, if i got this right i would need a 142mm bracket to get the 996 front calipers i have to fit the rs2?
