Hi!,
Cool!, tell us more. I know there are several others interested in this conversion.
What brackets did you use? Where there any pad underhang/overhang issues? -
Porsche 996 Monoblock (Ebay)
Standard Porsche Pads (came with caliper)
Audi A8 323x30 Disc (GSF)
RS2 Caliper Carrier (VAG Parts)
Carrier Bolts (VAG Parts)
Caliper Bolts (VAG Parts)
RS2 Hard brake line (VAG Parts)
Braded Hoses (forum member)
2 liters Halfords 5.1
Gunsons Brake and Clutch Pressure Bleed Kit
New Bomb fitted (VAG Parts)

Only caution - please make sure that you do take enough material off the caliper posts 1mm+++ to avoid fouling

Nice one George, looking good.
How do you find the performance? Did you have the standard S2 calipers on beforehand? Which pads did you use? I'll also echo Robin's questions.Comment

Looks good!
Who did you get the braided hoses from? I'm thinking of getting some for the caliper-strut.
It's worth checking the brake system again in a few days - do another bleed from the front calipers because you'll probably find that there's been a bit of air trapped in the system. Did you do a full bleed across all 4 calipers when you did your fluid change?
Enjoy your improved braking performance- it does give you a quicker car, and you can drive it more confidently IMHO. Nice one!Ex S2 owner, now running around in an A4 Avant quattro...

Full brake fluid flush, beld rear, front and clutch, re-bled after 48 hours.
Pads still bedding in only done about 30 miles, but results are good already.

You bled the clutch too - nice one!
Are you planning to keep the Halfords 5.1 in there long-term? Likewise the pads will you keep the Textars in there, or might you consider changing those at some other point? Enjoy!Ex S2 owner, now running around in an A4 Avant quattro...Comment

One stage at a time, upgrade alone has improved feel and proformance, I will get used to this set up first and at the next change try and improve upon it,
Cheap upgrade, but not that cheap.

Does transform the car. I love mine.
Now you can start collecting parts for the rears.

Nice one. I'm impressed you've done the brakes first before going for any power mods - a wise choice IMHO!
I see you're looking to do the ARBS - are you thinking of upgrading? RS2 Front ARB and the "Whiteline" adjustable Rear ARB is a good option for the Coupe. Lots of info in here about that route.Ex S2 owner, now running around in an A4 Avant quattro...Comment

Rear Whiteline will have to wait for funding
