996 to S6

[Corey]

Just thought I would show my work in progress for fitting 345x30mm discs to 996 Carrera (996.351.425 & 426) calipers to my urS6.
It is NOT possible to fit this diameter disc to these calipers without either having the pad overhang the outer diameter or the caliper fouling the disc.
Solution that I came up with was to machine the outer diameter down to 340mm, this has allowed perfect pad contact and plenty of caliper/disc clearance.
I am fitting these within 8x17 Avus S6+ which have an ET40 so I should have no issue with clearance. (Will know more when I have the wheels in my sticky hands)

Oh and I have stripped the original finish off the calipers and machine "quattro" onto them instead of "Porsche" they will be being painted red with white script.

And the brackets, this is how they came of the CNC miller, I am sending them for anodising to protect them.

Damn, that Quattro on the caliper looks excellent man !!

Do you mind if i do that the same way on my 8 piston brembo`s ? It really looks superb!

nice upgrade

Sure copy away, I have no claim to the rights to it, I think Audi own's that one.
If you have any issue getting it done I will gladly help.

Now that's a big hunk of metal fo' sure...Those brackets are...huge...

That QUATTRO script is the coolest


@Dutch_RsBlueS2 : what are those 8 pistons off of?

You could say that, it (obviously) needs to be that big because of the original HP2 calipers, the pitch between the bolts is WAY bigger than the other calipers Audi use.
The billets started as a chunk of 75x50x205mm, always produces tons of swarf.
The most enjoyable part for me is the first cut and wondering whether I got the programming right on the CNC after that it is just ballet
Just got all the paint today, I am doing them red with white script, just for that RS2 look.
I will post images once done.

Nice logo on those calipers Corey... I was actually looking to procure so heavy duty vinyl stickers with that or a 4-ring'd OOOO logo (or even a Brembo sticker) for the pair of black 996 calipers that I recently got my mitts on...

I'll be removing the nasty Porsche logo when I refurb and paint the 996 calipers. Dang they are a nice caliper - so much lighter than they look.

Any special thoughts and procedures on painting these calipers ? I mean what paints and how do you propose the trick paintwork with a white legend for the logo ?

Might just refurb mine black without an eye-catching logo to maintain the sleeper car look, but with a set of RS6 replicas about to go on I'll break that theory and may as well have something else nice to look at behind them wheels...

that logo is amazing!!!!

Did you do it yourself or through a company, i would be very intersted in having the quattro writing engraved on anything metal around the house
